This was announced by the Prime Minister Yatsenyuk during the government meeting on February 14.

He reminded that on February 16, the government plans to register in the parliament amendments to the budget and after that he would meet with representatives of the factions within the coalition.

"We are going to ask the parliament to start actively working so that we could adopt the relevant laws by the end of the month," – he said.
