UEFA President Michel Platini believes that Ukraine and Poland have coped with the preparations for the Euro 2012 European Football Championship.

"From the very start, the Euro 2012 organization has been a real challenge for Poland and Ukraine, and they have certainly passed this test. The progress is evident. Previously, these countries have never hosted a tournament of such scale, so we have been helping them in every way. We are satisfied and hope that in 2012 everything will be all right," he said at a meeting of the UEFA Executive Committee in the city of Limassol, Cyprus, on Thursday.

As reported, a delegation of UEFA leadership lead by Platini will visit Lviv, Donetsk, Kharkiv and Kyiv on September 26-27.
