Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has vetoed the law on documents confirming the identity and citizenship of Ukraine and returned it with his proposals to the Verkhovna Rada for further consideration, the presidential press service reported on Friday.
The head of state refused to sign the law, as it "carries a risk of violating the constitutional rights of citizens … and the law also violates the international commitments undertaken by Ukraine, [being] a step back towards the introduction of European and international standards in the protection of human rights and the implementation of the action plan regarding the liberalization of the EU visa regime."
