A draft of the new wording of the law on local self-government, developed by the MinRegion jointly with experts in Constitution, is ready. But it won’t be registered as a separate bill. The amendments will become the basis for the Municipal Code, initiated by the President, agreeing with the future amandments to the Constitution in terms of decentralisation.

It was claimed by Deputy Minister of Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine Vyacheslav Nehoda during an open dialogue, dedicated to new municipalities establishment in the Ivano-Frankivsk oblast within the context of the local self-government and territorial power arrangement reform, conducted in the village of Kosmach in the Ivano-Frankivsk oblast:

«All the current issues, non-concurrencies and inaccuracies, preventing local self-government bodies from functioning efficiently, we have collected all amendments to the Taxation and Budget Codes, amendments related to educational, social and other services into a single package and in the near future we’ll register the appropriate bill.»
