Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has said he will fulfil any ruling by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine regarding political reform.
The head of state said this at the first meeting of the third Donbass Investment Destination international investment summit, entitled "Public-Private Partnership in the Context of Ukraine’s New Economic Policy," which was held in Donetsk on Wednesday.
"Of course, we will fulfil any ruling by the Constitutional Court, but I would like to say that we should build our life in Ukraine in such a way so that laws of Ukraine are fulfilled, so that the rule of law outweighs any political emotions," Yanukovych said.
He also said that "there should always be accountability along with democracy."
"These are two principles that are inseparable, only in this case can human rights be protected and I believe this principle should be dominant in our country," the president said.
As reported, the Constitutional Court of Ukraine is considering a case on the political reform in 2004 under a motion from 252 coalition lawmakers regarding the constitutionality of this reform.
As reported, on December 8, 2004, the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine’s parliament, adopted the law amending the Constitution of Ukraine, which foresees a switch from a presidential-parliamentary to parliamentary-presidential form of government, the government’s formation by the coalition of parliamentary factions, and the extension of parliamentary powers to five years.
The law on amendments to the main law came into force in 2006.
