On 21 March 2012, the Ukrainian parliament adopted in the first reading a
bill on the implementation of a resolution by the Parliamentary Assembly of
the Council of Europe.
The author of the document, MP of the pro-government Party of Regions Ivan

Ukraine in the section on the need to align the Ukrainian legislation with the EU
norms and standards and, in particular, in the judicial sector.” READ MORE

such in NATO's statements, except for the cases where the Alliance is expressing concerns over
the settlement of the "frozen conflicts". READ MORE
