In turn, the Head of the Republic Sergey Katanandov has declared: "We are able to implement national projects, but I should warn institutions of local government against an idea, that initiatives of the President are reduced to increase in financing. It will take place, indeed, but we'll have to present specific results, instead of percentage of development of funds. Therefore, a possibility that municipalities receive federal money for priority national projects, and do not involve own means in development of education, public health services, agriculture, and construction of habitation and spend it on solution of other essential problems is out of the question. It should not be so."
