Azerbaijan, Baku / Trend corr. A.Gasimova / Yulia Timoshenko, the leader of the Yulia Timoshenko Bloc has more chances to take the prime minister post of Ukraine, Oles Donia, the political scientist and head of the Political Values Research Centre, considers.

Special Parliamentary elections were held in Ukraine on 30 September. The Region Party and Yulia Timoshenko Bloc collected more votes as a result of voting.

According to Donia, Timoshenko may become prime minister in an 'orange' coalition. If the 'white-blue' coalition is established, then the 'orange' will have a chance within Our Ukraine- Popular Self-Defence and Yulia Timoshenko bloc.

However, nobody can guarantee Timoshenko will become prime minister as there are a lot of hidden dangers between Yulia Timoshenko and Viktor Yushenko. The expert did not explain the hidden dangers.

Yushenko cannot establish his own coalition but can destroy another one. It is too early to speak about chances of Timoshenko to take the post of prime minister, the political scientist said.
