Russian President Dmitry Medvedev announced plans on Friday to set up a working group to prepare proposals for the decentralization of power in the country.
"In the near future I will set up a high-level special working group to prepare proposals for the decentralization of power," Medvedev said at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum. "Proposals will include correcting the national tax system and the principles of relations between government agencies."
The president echoed comments made at the forum by Russian businessman Mikhail Prokhorov earlier on Friday that Russia's current system of governance is unsustainable.
"If everything starts to work and move at a signal from the Kremlin, then the system is unsustainable and reliant on a particular person. This means it needs to be changed," Medvedev said.
