Lutsenko: the candidate for Prime Minister will be determined at talks

Translated by: Mariya Shcherbinina

The candidacy of the Ukrainian Prime Minister will be determined during coalition talks, said leader of Petro Poroshenko’s Block Yury Lutsenko. According to him, it is possible that it will be the current head of the government Arseniy Yatseniuk.

Lutsenko noted that the talks will not only regard the Prime Minister’s candidacy, but reforms as well.

“It will depend on him (Yatseniuk – ed.) being agreeable to the universal reform plan. If he is, I don’t think there will be any problems,” Lutsenko noted.

One of the leaders of this party Andriy Parubiy expressed his surety that the leader of People’s Front Arseniy Yatseniuk will remain Prime Minister.
