Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Hroisman has
announced that participants of the Regional Development Council on Friday
agreed on four fundamental positions to be reflected in the Constitution.
"We discussed the changes to the Constitution in terms of
decentralization. All have agreed that there are four positions of principle
that should be reflected in the Constitution," Hroisman posted on
Facebook.
According to him, the agreed positions suggest that the community
(village, town, city, their unions) should be a basic unit of local government
with the greatest scope of authority.
The second principle is described as subsidiarity, ubiquity and
financial self-sufficiency of local government.
In addition, the principles include a three-level system of local
government with a clear division of authorities and executive bodies at every
level.
The fourth principle stipulates that a transfer of authority to the
local governments should be balanced by the system of control on part of the
voters and the state.
