	Regional Leaders May Lose Powers
		Federal authorities are studying a proposal by close presidential aide Dmitry Kozak that would allow them to confiscate executive powers from regional leaders who fail to raise living standards in their regions.
		Under Kozak's proposal, leaders of regions whose budgets are heavily subsidized by the federal government would, among other things, lose their authority to appoint regional officials and decide how regional funds are spent.
		Kozak, arguably the most inventive and effective administrator on Putin's team, said his office would draft the necessary legislation for the reform before the State Duma returned from its summer recess in September.

		First published in Russian on the website of Transnistriaâs Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the text was promoted by Dmitry Kozak, a senior figure on President Putinâs staff.
		The Kozak memorandum represented a break with the Transnistria leadership's long-held position that Transnistria should have equal status with the rest of Moldova.
		Moldova and the Kozak memorandum was a key issue at the OSCE ministerial meeting in Maastricht in December 2003, and disagreement between Russia on the one hand and the EU and the US on the other on Moldova was one of the principal reasons why a final joint declaration was not adopted after the meeting.

		Both Voronin and Trans-Dniester´s leader Igor Smirnov quickly announced their acceptance of the Kozak Memorandum, and agreed to schedule Putin´s visit for November 25 to witness the signing; the date was officially confirmed on November 23.

		Drawn up in 2003 by the then-first deputy chief of Russia's Presidential Administration, Dmitry Kozak, the plan was rejected by Moldova with encouragement from the United States, the European Union, and other international actors, infuriating the Kremlin.
		The idea that the Kozak plan has its "good parts" that should remain on the table originates with William Hill, the American chief of the OSCE's Moldova mission.
		Meanwhile, however, Moscow's budgetary and political flmail to the OSCE has intensified; the institution's fate is at risk, short of significant concessions to Russia; and preparations for the year-end conference have to be set in motion (as usual) prior to the summer recess.
