PACE may stop monitoring of Ukraine

PACE vice-president, Ukrainian lawmaker Serhiy Holovatyi, is convinced that PACE may stop the monitoring of Ukraine no sooner than in October of the next year.

      According to an UNIAN correspondent, he claimed this today at a press conference of the permanent parliamentary delegation of Ukraine to PACE.

      S.Holovatyi recalled that in October 2005 a resolution was adopted on the results of a report about fulfilling the obligations, undertaken by Ukraine before its joining the Council of Europe. He stressed that, considering the PACE practice, the issue of removing the monitoring from this or that country is considered once every two years.
