In Uzhgorod, voluntary association of communities was “buried” in front of the RSA (PHOTO)

Residents of Khust district will not tolerate sabotage of the voluntary association of communities by the Transcarpathian Regional State Administration.

On Monday, communities of two districts – Khust and Svalyava – already visited Transcarpathian Regional State Administration with the request to give positive conclusions, as prescribed by the law. However, the officials just fled from the people. The fact that the Transcarpathian regional authorities have been disrupting the implementation of decentralization reforms was already recognized by the Ministry of Regional Development which recommended the RSA to give a positive conclusion. However, they continue to delay the matter under various pretexts…

So, today, September 15, representatives of Khust district, primarily the villages of Nyzhnye Selyshche and Kopashnovo (who decided to join their communities, forming a joint one with the population of over 8000 people) again came to the RSA. This time, to publicly express their position and even to "bury" voluntary association of communities in Transcarpathian region. People say that the regional authorities are killing the reform and prepared a symbolic coffin and mourning wreaths.    

On Narodna Square, in a quite peaceful, friendly atmosphere and even with humor, Khust district community representatives described the situation in the district. The main points are: despite the fact that everything is ready to finalize voluntary association of communities (calculations have been made, public discussion have been conducted, there are expert opinions and over 50% of votes for it), there is no conclusion of the RSA.  The document is needed to finally formalize the process and move on, in particular to attract funds to the community budget for its development. The heads of the both villages and working groups told all the details, that representatives of Nyzhnye Selyshche and Kopashnovo have not only prepared the documents, but also have brought them to the officials, but they just run away from them. Also they said that the Ministry of Regional Development (the ministry responsible for the implementation of the reform in Ukraine) had sent a letter to the Regional State Administration requesting to give a positive conclusion. Then, representatives of the RSA were invited to speak. The Deputy Head Viktor Mikulin came out. However, he could not explain the delays.

Leaving the coffin on Narodna Square as a reminder and a sign of mourning for voluntary community association, which, the people believe, is being "buried in the ground" at the level of the regional authorities, representatives of Khust district went back home. To further appeal to Kyiv now…
