Leonid Kozhara on the Party of Regions’ cooperation with UDAR, Batkivshchyna and Svoboda
Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Party of Regions’ Deputy Head Leonid Kozhara stated that his party finds it fairly easy to cooperate with Vitaliy Klitschko’s UDAR at the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs.
“My political experience proves that we can easily cooperate and coordinate our activity with Klitschko’s party,” he noted. “I can’t say the same thing about Svoboda or Batkivshchyna.”
According to earlier reports, EMPs criticized Svoboda again yesterday. EMP Marek Siwiec (Socialist Group, Poland) stated that he does not understand the cooperation of Batkivshchyna and UDAR leaders, Arseniy Yatseniuk and Vitaliy Klitschko, with Svoboda’s leader Oleh Tyahnybok.
