Vitali Klitschko's UDAR Party has said that the authorities should stop exerting pressure on the Central Election Commission (CEC) and that European institutions should apply personal sanctions against the organizers and falsifiers of the parliamentary elections in Ukraine.

"Before we talk about any negotiations, the authorities should stop putting pressure on the CEC, and the CEC should recognize the victory of the opposition in the so-called disputed districts. The Prosecutor General’s Office should immediately open criminal cases in connection with the falsification of election documents in a number of districts," the party said in a statement posted on its Web site on Friday.

UDAR also asked European institutions to impose personal sanctions against "the organizers and executors of fraud."

The statement notes that the party will initiate the adoption of laws that will give citizens the right to dismiss officials guilty of corruption or fraud.
