The Ukrainian parliament announced Friday a recess until July 18 to coordinate several procedural issues to form parliamentary committees.

Opening a morning plenary session of the Verkhovna Rada, Speaker Oleksandr Moroz said that only factions representing the new "anti-crisis" coalition, comprising Party of Regions, the Socialist Party and the Communist Party, had submitted their candidatures to all 26 proposed committees and a special committee on privatization.

Two of the three members of the former "orange" coalition - the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc and pro-presidential Our Ukraine bloc - refused to participate in the process, the speaker said.

Ukraine's President Viktor Yushchenko warned political parties Thursday against making decisions that run counter to principles of the European parliamentarianism and national legislation that could force him to dissolve parliament.
