Nov 21, 2009 at 22:30 | Ukrainian NewsSerhii Tihipko said this during a talk show on the Inter television channel on Friday evening.

According to the presidential candidate, the question will be negotiated between the first and the second rounds of the presidential elections. He believes both presidential candidate Yanukovych and presidential candidate Tymoshenko can apply to him with this proposal. "I will be bargaining about the terms if so," he said.
