The decisions by the Ukrainian Constitutional Court to return to the presidential-parliamentary form of government in the framework of the Verkhovna Rada will be implemented with great difficulties, said Viktor Nebozhenko, Director of Ukrainian Barometer, a sociological service.
"One should not just make a decision, but do so with the same package of documents that was passed between 2004 and 2010," he told Interfax on Friday.
The Verkhovna Rada should stop the Constitutional Court decision to return to the presidential-parliamentary system or to limit the court’s competence, the expert said.
"What the Constitutional Court did was put itself above this legislative body. And the legislative body is being offered to comply with the Constitutional Court decision," Nebozhenko said.
"The first thing that the Verkhovna Rada must do is to immediately stop this CC decision or to limit the competence of the court itself so that we do not have such conflicts," the expert said.
Also, the fate of the Mykola Azarov government "will not change in anyway" because of the CC decision, Nebozhenko said. "Both the president and the government are pretending that this life-changing decision, which gives them enormous power, has nothing to do with them," he said.
The Western reaction to the CC decision will be "extremely negative," the analyst said.
