In a year Georgia will hold the elections to the local
self-government. The country has already ratified the European Charter
of local self-government with minor reservations, thus the elections
will be held according the new but unadopted law.

Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili has formed a special commission
for the elaboration of the project of reformation of the local
self-government system, which is likely to serve as a basis for the
new law. The commission will deal with the decentralization of the
local self-government bodies and formation of budget balances.

To all appearances the project will not touch the
administrative-territorial structure depending on Georgia’s relations
with Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

It is supposed that the southern regions of Georgia mostly inhabited
by Armenians, especially Javakhk will be offered the independence in
settling the local issues referring to the local self-government and
decentralization, A-info reported.
