Today the Zhitomir Regional Administrative Court in a public hearing considered a statement of claim of the Executive Committee of the Zhitomir City Council to the Zhitomir diocese of the UOC on the limitations of the mass event.

The Executive Committee "in order to avoid clashes and conflicts between the participants of the gatherings of citizens" went to court with the intention to change the route of the religious column. The court ruled to leave the claim without consideration.
