On February 8, the Volyn Regional Organization of the UNP held a press conference for local media. The main message that representatives of the Ukrainian People's Party wanted to convey to citizens was the thesis that "the process of forming a new management team in Volyn is non-transparent and undemocratic."\n\nIn particular, it was noted that at a meeting of the leadership of the Volyn Regional Organization of the UNP, a decision was made that, given the great contribution to Viktor Yushchenko's victory in the presidential elections, the party deserves to have its representatives appointed to leadership positions in the region.\n\n"UNP members" want to see their representative among the deputy heads of the Volyn Regional State Administration and three heads of RSA departments. They would also agree to an option where their deputy head of the RSA heads one of the departments. And the UNP's sphere of interest includes the departments of education, healthcare, and the department of labor and social protection of the population.\n\nIn addition, the UNP would not refuse its representatives in the positions of heads of the Horokhiv, Ivanychi, Volodymyr-Volynskyi, Kamin-Kashyrskyi, Lyuboml, Lyubeshiv, and Shatsk district state administrations.\n\nOtherwise – if these demands are not taken into account – the UNP absolves itself of political responsibility for the actions of the new government.\n\nHowever, the first deputy head of the VRO of the UNP, Mykola Pasaman, refused to name specific candidates, stating that the list with the proposed candidates had already been given to the head of the Volyn RSA, Volodymyr Bondar, on Sunday.\n\nCurrently, the process of forming a new management team is underway. According to Volodymyr Bondar, the specific names of officials will become known only after the official presentation of the new head of the RSA. And this could happen as early as this week. Therefore, one should expect a visit to Volyn by one of the top high-ranking officials (Oleksandr Zinchenko or Yulia Tymoshenko).\n\nTherefore, please consider the information dated 08.02.2005 under the headline "There will be only three deputies to the head of the Volyn RSA...", posted on "Lutsk Investmentnyi", only as one of the versions of possible personnel appointments.
