MOSCOW, July 26 (Xinhua) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev vowed to fight corruption with great efforts in an interview with Russia's NTV aired on Sunday.
"For as long as Russia is thought of as a country with an ultra-high scale of corruption, we'll be getting the kind of treatment this involves. So it's the task of those in authority to beat corruption, no matter how unrealistic this may sound today," the Inter fax news agency quoted Medvedev as saying.
"We have already adopted a whole set of measures (against corruption) and we won't stop," he said.
The president stressed new anti-corruption laws should be used extensively.
"We have a national plan. We have a package of anti-corruption laws. We have adopted bylaws," the RIA Novosti news agency reported.
"The main thing now is to learn to use and not to be afraid to use these documents, so that those who use them do not fear that they will be punished tomorrow. This is the most complicated task," he said.
Medvedev has made fighting corruption one of his top priorities since taking office in May 2008.
