Regions Party Eager to Close Ranks with Our Ukraine
The Regions Party is negotiating with Our Ukraine-People’s Self-Defense bloc to close ranks and set up a broad coalition, said Sergey Levochkin, who heads the office of Ukrainian PM Viktor Yanukovich.
Moreover, on October 3, the Regions’ Party sent an invitation to Bloc of Yulia Timoshenko urging it to join the coalition, Levochkin pointed out.
“On Thursday, we are going to ink an intention memorandum to set up a coalition, while the negotiations themselves will be held in two stages. At the first stage, we will have to elaborate a coalition agreement that will define the aims of Ukraine’s further advance and the principles for building the coalition. At the second stage, the portfolios will be distributed. As the party-winner, we claim the prime-minister’s office for Viktor Yanukovich,” Levochkin added.
