Volodymyr Lytvyn, Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, believes that the Authorities shall secure Stability in the Country
"At present, it is of utter importance to secure stability in the country, the fight not to be prolonged after the election campaign. Stability shall be based on the democratic principles", - V.Lytvyn stated in the interview to Inter TV Channel on Sunday.
V.Lytvyn believes that victory of Viktor Yanukovych in the presidential elections "shall be recognized by everyone, including his rival Yulia Tymoshenko". "At the same time, she has not lost, but increased her political significance owing to the support in the majority of regions", - he added.
The Head of the Parliament believes that stability can be secured, provided the rivalry between the participants of the elections is suspended, and the parliamentary dialogue is resumed. "We shall understand a proven fact politics is in the way of economy and normal life. Every effort shall be taken to stabilize the situation in the country, starting with the State Budget for 2010", - the Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine stated.
V.Lytvyn stressed that the third round of elections would not be held, as there were no legal grounds for adopting such a resolution. "It is possible to go to court; however, common responsibility for the split in the country shall be understood. The actions of politicians, representatives of both teams, shall determine the future of the country", - the Head of the Parliament stated. The Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine believes that "certain political slogans" shall be rejected. He deems necessary to focus on the settlement of inner and foreign political problems.
"The approaches that split the country shall be rejected. It is necessary to focus on the non-sensitive matters. Indiscreet words and careless actions can increase the tension", - he stated.
V.Lytvyn supposes that the winner of the elections "shall wisely distribute the authorities in the country, in joint efforts with The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine", suggesting an action plan with an account for vital needs of every citizen.
However, V.Lytvyn strongly objects to the holding of extraordinary parliamentary elections. He also stressed that "any talks concerning extraordinary parliamentary elections without amendments to the electoral legislation are groundless". He deems necessary to amend the rules of elections to the Parliament and the local authorities after the budget is adopted.
