Ukraine, Kiev, 19 June / corr. Trend Z. Novosvitski/ Yuli Timosenko Bloc (YTB) has blocked up the work of the parliament as it fears that new coalition can be created in the Supreme Rada (Ukrainian parliament), said Aleksandr Yefremov, deputy head of the oppositional faction of the Regions Party in the Supreme Rada.

"But the members of the coalition could do nothing, but to block up the work of parliament with the help YTB," Yefremov said.

He also added that the existence of the coalition does not stand on the agenda.
"All parties have admitted that today there is no coalition and majority," he said and added that the difference between the positions is that each party demand different forms of legal confirmation and particularly, decision of the Constitutional Court.
According to Yefremov, the factions of YTB and Our Ukraine -People's Self Defense did not support the idea of the bloc of Litvin Vladimir Litvin on holding special meeting next week with the participation of the president and premier as the source of conflict is 'partially outside of the parliament'.
