UKRAINE SLAMS PACE OVER APPEAL TO DELAY REFERENDUM.

11 April 2000 y., Tuesday
Ukraine's Foreign Ministry said on 6 April that the appeal by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe to postpone the 16 April constitutional referendum is "unacceptable and inadmissible". According to the ministry, PACE's recommendation to suspend Ukraine's membership in the Council of Europe if Kyiv moves to implement the referendum results by unconstitutional methods "does not reflect the real situation in Ukraine and is a manifestation of disrespect for [Ukraine's] people, constitution, and legislation, [as well as] all [its] branches of power." The ministry noted that the referendum will be a milestone on Ukraine's path toward European integration. Meanwhile, early voting in the referendum has begun for those Ukrainians who are unable to vote on 16 April.
