One of the leaders of Party of Regions Raisa Bogatyryova considers that President Viktor Yushchenko will charge the Party of Regions, as elections winner, to hold negotiations on coalition formation. She said that today in Kyiv at a briefing, the ForUm’s correspondent informs.
“As soon as results are announced, negotiation process concerning coalition will be started. Though we do not have direct norm concerning who starts negotiation on coalition formation, there is a world tradition that the president charges the party-winner to hold negotiations. I am convinced that according to results of elections, the President will charge PR to hold negotiations,” she said.
According to her, celebrations of PR opponents, based on results of exit-polls, are too early. “Results of exit-polls proved once more that there is high competition among political forces, but exit-polls are not results of elections,” she said.
