The visit
was aimed at getting familiarized with the process of implementation of
Geneva agreement on Ukraine concerning unblocking administrative buildings. On the outcomes
of the visit the sides ascertained that the KMSA building wasn’t occupied by the
protesters. Instead there are conducted repair and restoration activities
with an aim to prepare the premises for the work of new municipal authorities,
who are to be elected through the democratic elections on May 25, 2014. “Owing to
the KMSA mayor we were able to convince how Ukraine fulfills provisions of
Geneva document,” A. Deshchytsya stressed. The head
of the OSCE special monitoring mission in Ukraine Ertugrul
Apakan assessed efforts of the Ukrainian side that led
to liberation of the KMSA building. Ukraine
is ready to continue to stick responsibly to the provisions of Geneva
document and call on other parties, first of all the Russian Federation, to
pay efforts in order to deescalate the strain in south-eastern regions of
Ukraine. |
