Secretariat: Yuschenko will appeal to court if parliament overrides his veto of law on presidential elections

Kyiv, August 18 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine's Presidential Secretariat has said that President Viktor Yuschenko will appeal to the Constitutional Court if the parliament overrides his veto of amendments to the law on presidential elections.

"I forecast that if the [parliament] overrides the veto of the Ukrainian president and ignores his remarks, the president will appeal to the Constitutional Court," the secretariat's deputy head, Maryna Stavniychuk, said at a briefing in Kyiv on Tuesday.

She said that Yuschenko would ask the court to urgently consider his submission so that there is a legal base for the normal organization of the election process in Ukraine.

"I think that the president will also use the opportunities of the international community in order to influence this situation," Stavniychuk said.
