Parliament's potential enough to adopt constitutional amendments touching decentralization of power

The Ukrainian Parliament has potential to finally adopt the amendments to the Constitution of Ukraine that touch the decentralization of power, Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada Volodymyr Groysman told journalists at a press conference on results of the first year of the Verkhovna Rada of the eighth convocation.

"Potentially the Ukrainian Parliament can finally put a period to this wild, centralized, post-Soviet system of country government, and adopt the Constitution based on real European standards allowing the communities to live self-sufficiently," he said.

"There is a potential of 300 votes. However, there are so many issues for certain political forces we still have to settle. I am ready for the dialogue, I am ready to make this decision eventually taken," the Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada said.


The elaborated constitutional amendments "eliminate any preconditions for separatism or any kind of a split in the country," Groysman said, having added there there are different opinions on the decentralization.
