Functions related to agriculture, land-planning, social security, health care, education, culture, public order and other functions, except objects of regional importance will be transferred to counties' responsibility. In order to implement these functions, amendment will be prepared for the Conception. Next step will be a preparation of a second stage of implementation measures of the Conception.
