Earlier yesterday, the Foreign Ministry said Ukraine does not plan to invite CIS observers to parliamentary elections set for 26 March 2006. A ministry spokesman said the assessments of the CIS observer mission at previous parliamentary and presidential elections had not been impartial.
Yushchenko said the issue of inviting foreign observers to Ukrainian elections should not be politicized.
