European Commissioner Hahn: Decentralization reform is one of Ukraine’s most important achievements

Decentralization reform is one of the most important achievements of the Ukrainian authorities.

EU Commissioner for European Neighborhood and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn said this at a round table at the House of Decentralization in Kyiv, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"If we look at the experience of recent years, we will see that the reform of decentralization is, perhaps, the most important achievement. This reform really meets the needs of people. And I am very pleased that the European Union can offer the experience of its member states to contribute to this reform," he said.

Decentralization reform will succeed only if all the political forces join its implementation and perceive the reform as a national project, the EU Commissioner noted.
