The representative of Lutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi in court – Viktor Kuchma – announces an appeal against the decision of the Lutsk City and District Court, which recognized as unlawful the actions of Anton Kryvytskyi as an official of a local self-government body regarding campaigning for one of the candidates for the position of President. \nAs Viktor Kuchma reported, an appeal against the decision of the Lutsk City and District Court was sent today by mail to the Appellate Court of the Volyn Region. Therefore, as the representative of Anton Kryvytskyi in court emphasizes, the decision of the Lutsk City and District Court has not acquired legal force. Only after consideration of the case in the Appellate Court can such a decision enter into legal force. \nViktor Kuchma insists that at the concert of Russian pop stars held in Lutsk on September 22, Anton Kryvytskyi was present as a resident of the city and secretary of the Volyn regional committee of the SDPU(o), and not as an official of a local self-government body. \nAs for campaigning, Viktor Kuchma states that "Anton Kryvytskyi did not engage in any campaigning," but only expressed his opinion. \nAs "Lutsk Investytsiinyi" reported earlier, on October 1, 2004, the Lutsk City and District Court of the Volyn Region decided to recognize as unlawful the actions of Lutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi as an official of a local self-government body, and granted the complaint of Volodymyr Banada as the authorized representative of the candidate for the post of President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko. \nEarlier, on September 29 of this year, Volodymyr Banada filed a complaint with the court against the actions of Lutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi, justifying his appeal by the fact that on September 22, 2004, at the "Avangard" stadium in Lutsk, a concert took place featuring Russian pop stars, before the start of which Lutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi in his introductory speech called on the concert audience to vote in the upcoming elections for Viktor Yanukovych. \nLutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi is simultaneously the secretary of the Volyn regional committee of the SDPU(o). \n
