While amendments to the Constitution in terms of decentralization were discussed, a separate expert workshop was dedicated to the issue of hromadas legal capacity. Currently the Law On the Local Self-Government is being considered, so the issue of defining hromadas legal capacity has turned into a live discussion again.

A hromada as a legal entity is not a structure above the local self-government that can be taken away. Just on the contrary, it is the hromada legal capacity realization and a tool for the self-government to advocate own independence and autonomy.

Such a status involves additional opportunities for judicial defense. Formalisation of the status of a hromada as a legal entity in the Constitution means the right to challenge the laws interfering in the local self-government independence and autonomy at the Constitutional court.
