Russian regions might exit national project
The economic crisis might force a number of Russian regions to abstain from the national projects, the key federal initiatives on regional development. The reason is decreasing transfers from Moscow.
A number of regions have over the last weeks experienced increasing problems with the implementation of the projects, and might eventually have to exit them, Newsru.com reports. It is especially within the field of healthcare that the regions now experience difficulties. Experts say that the national projects have insufficiently helped increase service quality in the regions. The development of the national projects where previously supervised by Dmitry Medvedev. The projects have included major federal transfers within healthcare, education, agriculture and housing.
