The head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko submitted to the Parliament modified the amendments On decentralization, which fix the position of the special status of Donbass in the text of the Constitution itself. Appropriate documents are available at the Ukrainian Parliament.

Initially, the Draft amendments did not include mention of the special status of Donbass in the text of the Constitution. About the fact that this special status will be Assigned to a special legislative act, was said to be in the transitional provisions of the law On amendments. The project was criticized by the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk republics. By their utterances, " and the amendments are trying to shove the head of Ukraine were not the very body of the Constitution, and any transitional provisions ".

Now the position of "Peculiarities of local government in certain districts of Donetsk and Lugansk regions are defined by a separate legislative act" is transferred from the transitional provisions of the law On amendments in section XV of the Ukrainian Constitution.

The profile Committee recommended the Parliament to adopt the Draft and send to the constitutional court for evaluation.
