Lviv: Unlike state oblast officials, local council officials have not been paid salaries yet

But the funds have already been transferred from the oblast budget and getting paid is a matter of 1-2 days.
By contrast, state administration oblast officials have received their salaries as their funding comes from the national budget approved late December 2007.

Comment by the ZIK information agency

The delay in payments of salaries to officials has nothing to do with massive compensation payments to former Oshchadbank clients who lost their savings back in 1991, Lviv city council press secretary Vasyl Tereshchuk told ZIK.
