Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who is running for president, has said that representatives of business have no dominant influence on decision making in her political force.

"Business has hardly any rights in my force. And I am in charge of the politics as well as those politicians, who have proved their fair names over decades. Business is represented in the parliament, but it doesn’t shape politics," she said on Inter TV channel on Friday night.

This is what distinguishes her political force "from the Party of Regions for instance," Tymoshenko said.
