Coordination of Donbas elections' modality should be last stage of political settlement - DPR
DONETSK. May 6 (Interfax) - Parties to the Trilateral Contact Group for Ukraine will be unable to coordinate the modality of Donbas elections without having implemented the entire Package of Measures for the regional settlement, Natalia Nikonorova, representative of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) to the political subgroup, has said.
"The roadmap for the implementation of the Package of Measures should take into account every stage of the political settlement, including the lifting of the ATO regime, and the economic blockage, an amnesty, the enactment of the "special status" law, a constitutional reform, and the final stage - elections," Nikonorova told reporters on Friday.
"One can hardly expect a final coordination of the elections' modality, without making relevant decisions on the fulfillment of each of the aforementioned stages," she said.
