"The parliamentary elections in Ukraine have become a major milestone following the consolidation that began with the Orange Revolution. During the elections, the Ukrainians have shown that they cherish the freedom they gained in taking to the streets. They clearly confirmed their desire to become part of the European Union, on the basis of sharing its fundamental principles and criteria. It is commendable that the European Parliament has not confined itself to merely supporting the Orange Revolution but that it is also constantly monitoring developments in Ukraine through its observers.
Parliamentary democracy must not be taken for granted. It must be gradually established and must be looked after. As an immediate neighbour, Slovakia has a vested interest in Ukraine’s success. Slovakia will be helping Ukraine to get to where it belongs, that is, within the fold of EU Member States. Naturally, this will not happen overnight, and the European Union should therefore offer a form of partnership that would develop Ukraine’s European perspective. The joint resolution demonstrates that the European Parliament is politically mature, capable of reaching political agreement based on a broad consensus, and sending a clear signal to the Ukrainian people. I have therefore voted in favour of the resolution."@en1
