Head of the Government Office's Department of Relations with Regions and Self-governments Irakli Melashvili thinks that the new code will bring qualitative changes in the relationship between society and the state.
"Local population should have a mechanism to decide what should be done in the village. Today everything is decided in the Center. Every single time if water supply should be repaired in a village, the central government is making decision about these. The local population is totally separated from the decision-making process, which relates directly to them. We should move from a centralized system and trust our citizens to participate in decision-making process" - says Melashvili.
Melashvili noted that the appointment of a governors remains, though they will be responsible to a collegial body that would include members of the Council. The new Self-government Code has been approved by the parliament on October 30.
