The system will be similar to the one introduced in the U.S. after the 2001 9/11 attacks.

Nikolai Patrushev also said a special crisis center would be set up within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to protect Russian nationals and organizations abroad.

Russia's government also approved a counter-terrorism program for 2009-2012 at the session.

"This year, the NCC will remain focused on reducing the terrorist threat," Patrushev said.

He also said Russia was taking steps to eliminate some groups in the North Caucasus region.
