Transcarpathia: reform in the country and region are,in spite of fierce resistance – a view

Question of reforming the administrative-territorial reform in the field of attention not only to domestic media. Experts believe that the success of the United territorial communities "pour" oil in the concerns of the marginal structures, which are accustomed to manage public funds and seek to extend their influence on the decisions and actions of the basic local self-government. This is, in particular, the radio "Tisa" said a regional adviser on legal questions Oleg Luksha. - Oleg, the reforms announced a year ago. Can we now talk about some result. - Actually, the popularization, explanation and, in fact, the work started a year ago. Although preparatory work in the legal field, as I have repeatedly said, continued in the expert environment since the early 2000s. And I can say that the two communities of Transcarpathia are those "pioneers" who dared to assume courage, and responsibility to live a new life: Tiachiv and Vilkovisky. Although throughout Ukraine these brave men just 159. - How do they live? - Of course, not easy. Pros: these communities received direct inter-budget relations, the right to dispose of the funds – independence and from district to district, and from the field. Among the main disadvantages will be problems, unresolved at the national level, in the legal field. For example, the implementation of property rights, land issues... - How noticeable these, as You say, pros? - You name one, revealing the figure. If prior to the merger, arithmetically add the budgets of rural councils, which were included in Vlkovka United community, then we would have a sum of 5 million UAH, after the merger this figure is 40 million. Of course, added responsibilities and funding educational and cultural areas. But at the same time, the rural Council as a representative body of the United community has the right to decide strategic issues in the development of their society, personnel issues, determine priorities. - If the advantages are so obvious, why didn't we have a "parade" of associations? - United communities faced with the challenges that still wasn't part of their powers: they develop patterns of Executive committees, learn to predict and rationally, it is advisable to use the funds. See, this is a serious chunk of the state budget passed in their submission, it can't please everyone. So around unification process continue to circulate myths, innuendo. We see real resistance to the desire of people who look for new things, having fear is quite understandable. However, these, our United community led by real enthusiasts – Mikhail Mikhailovich CARICOM (Vilkhovetskiy community), Ivan Ivanovich Kovach (Tyachiv community), and I am sure that our joint efforts will be able to organize the work in such a way as to set an example to all who still doubt!
