Ukrainian President Viktor Yuschenko is against the Our Ukraine-People's Self-Defense Bloc's joining the coalition between the BYT, the Our Ukraine-People's Self-Defense Bloc and the Bloc of Lytvyn, OUPSD MP Roman Zvarych told the journalists on Friday.

According to him, the text of coalition agreement was more than 80% agreed, but there is a political problem.

"The problem is one of political will. The president made it clear yesterday, that he is against his faction joining the coalition," Zvarych said.

He noted that the faction should now take a decision.

Zvarych stressed if the faction has 37 votes, then the faction's head and other deputies are obliged to sign an agreement.

At the same time, he said there were already 39 signatures of MPs from the OU-PSD on the coalition agreement.
