Kyiv City Council Secretary Halyna Hereha has said that Kyiv Mayor Leonid Chernovetsky promptly signs all of the decisions taken by the city council.

"I want to tell you that all of the documents, including those adopted at the last plenary meeting, have been signed by me and by the mayor. There are no delays in this matter," she said at a briefing on Thursday before a plenary meeting of the city council.

She also said that she regularly communicates with Chernovetsky, but over the phone.

"We talked three weeks ago, and we talk to the mayor every week, discussing the agenda [of city council meetings]. He signs the documents adopted [by the council]," she said.

Hereha said she did not know where Chernovetsky was last week.

"I don’t know where he was. I talked to him by phone," she said.
