The head of the Volyn headquarters of Viktor Yushchenko, People's Deputy of Ukraine Volodymyr Bondar, during a press conference stated that he does not possess information that Volyn residents are refusing to work in precinct election commissions from the candidate for the position of President Viktor Yanukovych due to pressure or negative treatment of them because of their support for a non-opposition candidate. However, if such cases become known at the headquarters, Volodymyr Bondar is ready to cooperate with Yanukovych's headquarters on organizing the work of precinct commissions in a lawful manner. The People's Deputy stated: "I am ready to travel to problem areas where, from the point of view of Yanukovych's headquarters, there is persecution of people. I am ready to talk with our supporters and remove the problems." Volodymyr Bondar called on Viktor Yushchenko's supporters not to persecute opponents for their political preferences. Society has long struggled for the right to live in a democratic state. People going out into the streets testifies to the fact that the people have shown a desire to have a government that will make any influence on the individual impossible, he believes. "Viktor Yushchenko's supporters have no right to allow intolerance. Because whatever colors it may be applied in, it does not justify itself. We must guarantee the right of choice, and people should not be afraid for voting for one or another candidate – the People's Deputy is convinced. We must not persecute people who work in Viktor Yanukovych's headquarters, or who could have voted for him. Otherwise we will lose the very idea of the democratic development of civil society, we will lose the idea of expressing one's opinion, the idea of a citizen of the state for which we have fought for so long" – said Volodymyr Bondar.
Also Volodymyr Bondar rejects any accusations that Viktor Yushchenko's headquarters is obstructing the creation of precinct commissions. "If someone says that we deliberately worked to prevent people from working in precincts, then at the stage of their formation I reject such accusations. We will do everything so that the elections in Volyn take place. And take place honestly and within the framework of the law, as we did in both previous rounds" – stated the head of the Volyn regional headquarters of Viktor Yushchenko.
