Heads of the assigned regions must keep preparations of the fest sites under their personal control and the Mayor’s Office of Kazan must create all necessary conditions for work of our teams from that regions. The most important task is to ensure law and order and security. Special attention should be attached to all logistics details such as routes and the timetable of the public transport, and to provide a sufficient number of parking spaces.”
