Ukraine parliament agrees to EU requirement on revote

The parliamentary majority and the opposition reached an agreement on May 30 to hold a revote in five election districts for which results couldn’t be established in the 2012 parliamentary election. The elections will be scheduled for October 28, precisely a year after the elections were held. The parliament may vote to affirm the agreement in the first week of June.

Zenon Zawada: The revotes will satisfy a key prerequisite of the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement, which sends a positive signal to Brussels that the Ukrainian government is interested in signing it in November.
