Halyna Hrechyn, head of the Lviv Local Government Development Centre, told about CEC’s reluctance to appoint elections in amalgamated hromadas at today’s briefing on “AH formation in the Lviv Oblast in 2018: who will (not) hold elections”.

“As of today, four AHs of the Lviv Oblast are waiting for appointment of the first elections of heads and deputies, namely the Zymnovodivska, Bibrska, Lopatynska and Medenytska hromadas. And this is over 44 thousand residents of our oblast, who deserve better life,” she emphasised.
