Upon Minister of Regional Development Igor Slyunyayev's order, a procedure has been introduced to monitor on a daily basis starting from 2013 the readiness of area-planning documents in Russia’s regions and municipal entities.
The efforts also include holding video conferences with regional governors and sending clarification letters and telephoned messages.
Over the first two months of 2012, some 1,200 area-planning documents were approved for Russia’s regions and municipal entities.
