The State Council of Crimea will use the laws of the Moscow Regional Duma when drawing up its own regulations. Tatyana Kamenskaya, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the State Council of the Republic, reported this to Izvestia. The press service of the Moscow region parliament confirmed the information and also reported that negotiations are underway to help their Crimean colleagues create laws regulating municipal self-government. According to experts, scrapping the legislative framework will significantly speed up its formation.
“The regulations of the Moscow Regional Duma are written very simply and easily, and many things fit the State Council. In general, we looked at the regulations of all subjects, but this one is closer to us in terms of perception and, if possible, we could write a document based on it,” said Kamenskaya.
“In the Moscow region, more power is given to local government, less centralization. Crimea is also a large, complex region, this will suit them,” said the press service of the Moscow Regional Duma.
However, copying laws is possible only once, at the stage of creating a regulatory framework - then the system must be finalized by Crimean parliamentarians independently, taking into account the specifics of the region, experts note. Crimea is a territorially much more complex region than the Moscow region; there are large interethnic entities there, and this fact must be taken into account when drawing up laws.
