The president is constantly monitoring [the progress of the inspection].”
“The plan for the inspection has been approved. The president is fully aware of the entire situation as the inspection proceeds. The president’s arrival may be unexpected for everyone - both for those conducting the inspection and for those being assessed,” Aleksandr Volfovich said.
