At today's meeting in the city executive committee, Lutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi reminded everyone of the principle by which city officials will be hired in Lutsk. This statement is intended to "cool down" certain oblast-level officials who anticipate losing their positions with the change of leadership in Volyn, and therefore are starting to pound the thresholds of city institutions in search of a new job. The mayor noted that he had foreseen such a development of events, which is why back in September of last year, when he announced the administrative reform in Lutsk, he stated that leadership positions in the city would be distributed exclusively on a competitive basis, not behind closed doors. Only healthy competition among people who aspire to hold certain positions in Lutsk, in the mayor's opinion, will make it possible to move forward, renew personnel, and renew the thinking of Lutsk residents. \n
