Ukrainian subject practically absent from discussion in intl media – Tombinski

Head of the EU's delegation to the Vatican and former head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine Jan Tombinski has said issues involving Ukraine are practically absent in the international agenda. He said Ukraine should find the possibility of becoming a part of solutions to world problems.

"I see Ukraine from a distance lately, and issues involving Ukraine are practically absent in international discussions. The world today is mired in deep conflicts, which threaten … You need to show that Ukraine can be part of the solution, not part of the problem," he said during the fifth National Forum, dubbed "Transformation Ukraine," which was held in Kyiv on Monday.

Tombinski said he is confident that European leaders are worried about migration from African countries, the war against terrorism and internal problems.

According to him, the key issues of the day for Ukraine's government should be introduction of democratically elected parties, consistent state-institution building, reform of the energy sector, ensuring every-day security for Ukrainian citizens and the war against corruption.

He also mentioned the appointment of new members to Ukraine's Central Election Commission (CEC).

"It's impossible to understand that for already three years CEC has been working without a mandate," he said.
