Ms Olga Krainova, head of the FOS Office Support Service, and Mr Sergei Shabanov, Human Rights Commissioner for the Leningrad Region, signed an agreement on cooperation. The signing ceremony was held in St. Petersburg on September 23, 2022.
The subject of the agreement is to organize interaction on exchange of information as well as coordination of work in performance by the parties of their powers in the established spheres of activity.
Under the agreement, the parties will be able to obtain, upon request, the necessary information and hold mutual consultations in the field of protection of human rights as consumers of financial services. Parties will assist in distribution of the most effective practices of rendering qualified legal assistance to citizens in respective spheres.
It is planned to organize joint events, including personal reception of citizens, seminars and round-table discussions.
