On January 17, the consultations on forming the perspective plans of Mykolaiv, Odesa and Kherson Oblasts were held in MinRegion.

On general, consultations related to perspective plans have been already held for 20 regions out of 24. Representatives of oblasts state administrations, local self-government, relevant associations and the People’s Deputies participate in the events.

“Perspective plans, being finalized by the oblast state administrations now, will serve as a basis for future administrative and territorial structure. Voluntary stage for formation of hromadas is going to its end, and soon the final decisions will have to be made both in the oblast state administrations and in the Government. There should be no surprises in these decisions for hromadas. Do not, therefore, neglect holding additional consultations and discussions locally,” Vyacheslav Nehoda, Deputy Minister of Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine, addressed the representative of oblast state administrations.

It is commonly known that on December 20, 2019, the Law of Ukraine “On Voluntary Amalgamation of Territorial Hromadas” (regarding Simplifying the Procedure for Approval of Perspective Plans of Territory Formation of Hromadas of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Oblasts)” No2189 dated 30/09/2019 entered into force. In particular, the Law stipulates that amalgamation of hromadas will be further conducted exclusively according to the perspective plan.

Based on the data provided by MinRegion, perspective plans for formation of hromadas territory approved by the Government have already covered 90.3% of the country territory.
