The draft suggests that now embassies and consulates will be obliged to consider written and electronic appeals of citizens no longer than 5 working days. It also stipulates that all government agencies and diplomatic institutions must assist in protecting the rights of citizens outside the country - including in emergency situations, in case of violation of rights, loss of documents and other difficulties.
At present, more than 500,000 Kyrgyz are abroad, and the number of appeals to diplomatic missions is constantly growing. The bill is aimed at helping people faster and more effectively.
