Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has called on the coordinating committee on preparations for the European Basketball Championship in 2015 not to delay organizational issues.

"Dear colleagues, I would ask you, in view of the mistakes and remarks that were made as part of preparations for Euro 2012, not to delay decisions that concern organizational issues," Yanukovych said at a meeting of the coordinating committee on preparations for EuroBasket 2015 in Kyiv on Friday.

He said the quality of the organization of this event was under the sole responsibility of this committee and that the Cabinet of Ministers should take this process under control.

Yanukovych said that a great deal of work still needs to be done as part of preparations for the tournament.

"We will need to work hard together, and I don't share the enthusiasm that we'll do everything so easily. I think that it will be hard and very responsible work," he said.

He also asked all those involved in the organization of EuroBasket 2015 to work out plans for the area of their work and submit them to the president.
