The republics suggested that local self-government bodies enjoy a special status and create bodies to maintain the public peace.
"Self-government bodies in individual special-status districts and executive bodies of their associations shall have the right to create with the purpose of the provision of public security the bodies tasked to maintain the public peace: the people's militia," says the document.
It is proposed that the heads of such institutions be appointed and dismissed by local self-government bodies.
