"It is of utmost importance that all political forces show restraint and a high sense of responsibility, while continuing to use dialogue, in the resolution of this crisis", said Minister Moratinos.
On 3 April, Ukraine's President Viktor Yushchenko dissolved the parliament and called for early elections on 27 May. Shortly after, several members of parliament asked the Constitutional Court to investigate the legality of the decree.
Minister Moratinos said he would follow developments closely.
"I expect that all parties will act in a spirit of constructive co-operation so that the role of democratic institutions may be preserved and democracy strengthened," he said.
