Authorities remind citizens that those who have found or received firearms and ammunition and plan to store and use them legally should call the special line "102" or visit the nearest police station to declare such weapons. Additionally, these firearms can be voluntarily surrendered to police units.

To declare a weapon, it is necessary to have a set of documents: a written application; passport; identification code; a certificate of residence/registration; and a photo 3.5x4.5 cm.
