17:23

The United Center Party is planning to invite representatives of international organizations to monitor the local elections in Ukraine scheduled for October 31, party leader Viktor Baloha has said.

"We will ask influential international institutions to send their observers to Ukraine for the local elections. United Center will submit respective invitations to European capitals, as well as the headquarters of political parties and international organizations," the party's press service quoted him as saying at a press conference in Mykolaiv on Wednesday.

Baloha noted that the party had itself decided to invite foreign observers, because as "official Kyiv has not made any such initiatives, but the election campaign officially starts in just three days [on September 11]."
