And on the first working day, I expect this decision [on the formation of a new coalition and a new government] to be finally taken," Poroshenko said in an interview with a number of Ukrainian television channels on Sunday.

"In the first parliamentary week, the country must have a new prime minister, a new coalition, a new program of the government’s work that will guarantee certain stability in the activities of the coalition and the government," he said.
