In the case of the appeal against the illegal decision of Uzhgorod City Council session, the question of the abolition of land acts was not raised by prosecutors.

Several media spread the information that allegedly the prosecutors, at the request of one of the deputies, appealed the decision of the Uzhgorod City Council, which in 2010 approved the urban planning documentation for the individual residential development block around Stefanyk street in Uzhgorod.

Given the concerns about this issue, the prosecutor’s office considers it necessary to explain the situation.

The grounds for the appeal the above decision of the city council are only a violations of certain requirements of the Land Code of Ukraine (Art. 181-183), Laws of Ukraine "On Land Management" (Art. 20, 51, 62), "On state examination of land documents" (Art. 9, 35) and "On planning and development" (Art. 1, 3) during the development and the city council’s approval of the urban planning documentation for the individual residential development block on Stefanyk street, along the international highway M 08.

Also, the urban planning documentation for the individual residential building block around Stefanik street did not pass the mandatory examination to determine the conformance of urban planning documentation to the legislation, state standards, rules and regulations.

To sum up, we emphasize that in the case of the appeal against the above mentioned illegal decision of Uzhgorod City Council session, the question of the abolition of citizens’ land acts was not raised by prosecutors.
