Neither the local self-government, nor hromada residents have ever influenced the process of forming prosecutorial and judicial districts, the process of forming the judicial bodies, taxation, police and other state executive bodies locally. It must be the case as these are purely state functions. Currently, while we are talking about new rayons, we mean the state bodies’ activity arrangement in the regions. Thus, neither inhabitants, nor the AH heads have to worry about the future rayons configuration.

The issue was covered by Vyacheslav Nehoda, Deputy Minister of Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine, during a videoconference dedicated to forming the administrative and territorial arrangement of the sub-regional level of the Transcarpathian, Dnipropetrovsk, Ivano-Frankivsk, Luhansk, Lviv, Sumy, Chernihiv regions, held by the MinRegion on April, 1 jointly with the parliamentary Committee on the Organization of the State Power, Local Self-Government, Regional Development and Urban Planning.
