Cabinet has not allotted money for the elections

The Premier said that according to the law of Ukraine on elections, the means for elections are allotted from the state budget of Ukraine, and the sum is detailed in separate article of the budget.

“The Cabinet considers it impossible to allot money from the reserve fund to hold early election scheduled for December 7 of this year,” Tymoshenko said.

She also reported that the Finance Ministry was charged with a job of working out a corresponding document, which provides for budget financing of the early elections. The document will be considered at the next session of the government and then submitted for the parliament.

“The government also decided to address the President of Ukraine with a request to cancel the decree on early elections to enable the parliament to pass a number of draft bills, which will help Ukraine to avoid influence of the world crisis,” the PM added.

According to Tymoshenko, under the world economic crisis the Verkhovna Rada must work.

The Premier informed that 15 members of the government backed the decision.
