According to the resolution, the center will now officially coordinate the activities of government agencies to identify, prevent, and combat terrorist and extremist crimes, as well as ensure their cooperation in this area.

One of the key innovations was the granting of the Anti-Terrorism Center the right to independently conduct counterintelligence and investigative operations to identify and combat terrorist and extremist crimes.

Furthermore, the center has been given the authority to conduct special operations to suppress terrorist and other criminal activity, as well as to apply legal measures and temporary restrictions against individuals suspected of involvement in terrorism and extremism.

The document also provides for enhanced preventive efforts. The Anti-Terrorism Center will be able to officially warn citizens about the inadmissibility of illegal activities related to terrorism and extremism.

Changes have also affected the center’s structure. Its director will now have three deputies, one of whom will become the first deputy. The director will also continue to hold the position of deputy chair of the State Committee for National Security.

The resolution specifically emphasizes that the new powers will be implemented without increasing the staffing level of the State Committee for National Security. The document will come into force in ten days.
