Apr.2.- Ukraine's President Viktor Yushchenko dissolved the country's Parliament late on Monday.

In the meantime the MPs adopted a law, stating that they didn't have to comply with the President. The newly-hatched bill obliges MPs to only follow the will of the Parliament.

"My actions are dictated by the strict necessity to save the state's sovereignty and territorial integrity," Yushchenko said after seven hours of negotiations in Parliament led to no solutions. "It is not only my right, it is my obligation." He blamed the ruling majority, led by his opponent in the presidential race Viktor Yanukovych, of violating the law in its strive to expand its power over the country.

Should the President manage to get the upper hand, elections will have to be held in the country, and Yushchenko has already set the date at May 27, according to the BBC.
