It will levy local taxes and define economic and social policies of their constituents. The most controversial part of the amendments is article 18 of the “Transitional Provisions.”</p> <p>“The specifics of executing local governance in certain counties of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions are defined by a separate law,” <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905065345/http://euromaidanpress.com/2015/09/01/ukraines-decentralization-and-donbas-special-status-what-you-need-to-know/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mikhailov quoted</a> the article on Euro Maidan Press. He wrote, according to critics of the Minsk agreements, the provision had been imposed on Ukraine by outside forces.</p> <p>Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko’s recent comments had a meeting with Martin Sajdik. In the meeting with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe ambassador, Poroshenko reportedly hinted the "full implementation by the Ukrainian side of its political commitments on the
