Yushchenko to appeal against parliament?s decision on elections

KIEV. April 1. KAZINFORM. Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko will appeal to the Constitutional Court against the parliament?s decision to hold the presidential election on October 25, the president?s secretary assistant, Marina Stavniychuk, told a news conference on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, a member of the oppositional Party of Regions, Yuri Miroshnichenko, believes that Yushchenko has no chances to get the parliament?s decision overturned; Kazinform refers to Itar-Tass. The parliament?s decision ?is absolutely legal and complies with the Constitution,? he said.
