During consultations that started late last year and continue today, we want to hear all regional state administrations, we want to see, where we need additional discussions at local level, in order to come to agreed variants of the perspective plans. Approving the final versions of the perspective plans, we at the Government have to be sure that all challenging issues were discussed with participation of the local authorities’, Alyona Babak, Minister of Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine, appealed to the participants.
