Who shall become the next foreign minister? According to one report, Boris Tarasyuk is favored by the coalition. However, he is not the only one whose name is being thrown around.
According to Stratfor the former Speaker of the Rada, Arseny Yatsenyuk, is a front runner for the foreign ministry opening. An excerpt below from the report "Ukraine: An Ousting and a Rising Star" discussing the qualities that favor the former speaker.
So, Party of Regions has come out with its recommendation for foreign minister: Arseny Yatsenyuk, Ukraine’s rising star and a choice all three parties can compromise on. Yatsenyuk, who is only 34 years old, is someone to keep an eye on in Ukraine. He has held such positions as banker at both Bank Aval and National Bank of Ukraine, vice governor of Odessa, economic minister, foreign minister and speaker of the Verkhovna Rada (parliament). Yatsenyuk is a compromise figure: He favors a coalition with Yulia Timoshenko yet maintains good relations with the Party of Regions. He also has a deep knowledge of banking and finances, which is critical as Ukraine sinks deeper into its financial crisis. (Stratfor.com , March 3, 2009)
