Public organizations and movements will form a single coordination center in Ukraine to ensure the country has fair, transparent, and free elections.
The start of the creation of the center was announced at the fourth forum of the Civil Assembly of Ukraine on March 22 in Kyiv, Head of the Opora Civil Network Olha Aivazovska said at a press conference hosted by Interfax-Ukraine on Tuesday.
Representatives from some 400 public organizations attended the forum.
According to Aivazovska, the coordination center will be formed on the base of the Chesno (Fairly) movement, Opora Network, and the Committee of Voters of Ukraine.
The participants of the forum called on all political forces to form party lists openly, nominate candidates in majority constituencies, in particular on the basis of primaries, as well as immediately publish lists of candidates on their Web sites.
The Civil Assembly also said that the legitimacy of the future parliamentary elections will be prejudiced "if Ukrainian political prisoners Yulia Tymoshenko and Yuriy Lutsenko do not participate in them."
"The Civil Assembly of Ukraine calls on the authorities, the opposition and voters to be aware that responsibility from refusal from democratic norms will be placed on all participants of the election process," reads the statement of the forum.
