Volodymyr Lytvyn, Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, expects that the Law on Languages, drafted by a Group of People's Deputies, will not be scrutinized during the Current Session.

 

Asked by the journalists in the course of the working visit to Zhytomyr region, Volodymyr Lytvyn stated that "there are more sensitive issues in social, political and economic aspects."

 

V. Lytvyn expressed thought that "we shall first of all cope with the pension reform, regulate land issues, adopt the law on corruption fighting and only afterwards we would deal with the language matters, since the mentioned above problems will meet serious discussions in the society."

 

The Head of the Ukrainian Parliament stressed that social factor in present difficult times "shall not be one more calalytic agent in separation of Ukraine on East and West, as this topic may raise serious concerns." B. Lytvyn expressed thought that we should refrain from such ‘negative dimension´ especially on the eve of 20th  anniversary of Independence.

 

"We should deal first of all with the problems and issues that would unite our state, consolidate our people", he emphasised and added that the most controversial issues would be solved if "they are moral and responsible on the part of authorities."
