President emphasizes importance of expert proposals on Constitution amendment
President Viktor Yanukovych believes that experts should be involved in developing amendments to the Constitution of Ukraine, and broad public debate on the subject is needed, he said during today’s meeting to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Dnipropetrovsk region, presidential press office reports.

"We have returned to the constitutional process. There is Constitutional Assembly being created, comprising representatives of scientific and expert community, and public organizations, "he said.

Referring to the unfair complaints about the Assembly and the refusal of some opposition parties to take part in its work, the President said: "Maybe it would be good, if political parties waited for the experts to prepare their proposals and after a broad public debate. Sometimes it makes good to simply listen to smart people, instead of ‘political talk shows’ and populist propaganda."
