During the Regional Development Council of Rivne region, President Petro Poroshenko emphasized that decentralization gave an opportunity of self-fulfillment to the young community leaders. “We return a true content to self-government,” he said.

“The idea of decentralization is paving its way in Rivne region. This is evidenced by the first results and the readiness of the people present here to work for the sake of changes in the life of communities and the whole of Ukraine,” the President said.

The Head of State remarked that Ukraine follows the European path. “We rely on trust, we want to achieve subsidiarity. It is no coincidence that I invited our partners from Poland, Germany to help us write a strategy for decentralization. Many of your communities have partners in Europe. It already brings magnificent results: the state does only what the community can’t,” Petro Poroshenko said.

He also emphasizes that at the meetings across Ukraine he sees that the communities are now actively solving a lot of their problems. “I am pleased to hear such words in the communities as “vision for 10 years”, “strategic perspective plan of development for 3 years”. The communities see both strategy and prospects,” the President said.

According to him, there is a serious work and there is a deep understanding of the causes and consequences. “And most importantly – there are daily dialogues in thousands of cities and villages. In these dialogues, each member of the community has a vote. He defends his point of view, he believes that his opinion matters. To put it simply, decentralization is an opportunity and the right of every citizen to come up with an initiative, persuade people around and make decisions about the life of the community,” he added.

According to him, the future lies in the effective leaders of the communities at both the community and national level.
