The land plots are to be used exclusively for religious buildings, for maintenance of religious buildings and their premises, and for construction of religious buildings and their premises".
The People´s Deputies took into account the motion, pursuant to which, "the land plots, granted to the religious organizations for permanent use for religious buildings, and for construction and maintenance of religious buildings and their premises, can not be used with the purpose of business activity".
