KIEV, November 25 (RIA Novosti) - Ukraine's Foreign Ministry dismissed on Tuesday the opposition leader's call for a single economic space to be established with Russia, calling it outdated.
Viktor Yanukovych, who heads the Party of Regions, put forward the idea at a congress of Russia's ruling United Russia party in Moscow last week.
"Since the start of talks on a comprehensive and enhanced free trade zone with the European Union, the issue of establishing a single economic space has lost its relevance," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The ministry said that foreign policy priorities are decided only by President Viktor Yushchenko and parliament, not by party leaders.
