‘At the decentralization beginning Stanislavska malgamated hromada from the Kherson region greeted the reform with skepticism but, having witnessed colleagues’ success it decided to take charge of its own development. Only one of two village councils agreed for the amalgamation, but now the issue is the enlargement. Stanislavska AH is planned to be amalgamated with the neighbouring Oleksandrivska hromada which used to refuse from creating one hromada’, commented Volodymyr Zheludenko, the hromada head.
