Нам и раньше доводилось слышать о том, какой разительный контраст составляет жизнь Винницы и других городов сходного масштаба, об уникальном городском голове этого города и его достижениях. Поэтому «УЦ» сразу откликнулась на приглашение Виктора Андреева, начальника Главного управления ЖКХ облгосадминистрации, посетить соседний областной центр вместе с делегацией коммунальников Кировоградщины и увидеть все своими глазами. Результат превзошел все мыслимые и немыслимые ожидания!
About 60 representatives of the CSOs and departments of justice from
seven regions of Ukraine took part in the seminar. The main topics for
discussion were: improving the practice of the CSO registration, legal
assistance to the CSOs in reporting and compliance with their statutory
requirement and acting legislation, as well as legal mechanisms of
citizen participation in the government policy development and
implementation. Civic leaders had an opportunity to hear first-hand from
Olena Semyorkina, Director of the Department of CSO legalization and
registration of printed media of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, as
well as from the independent experts.
