Ukrainian constitution must be changed, Czech President Miloš Zeman considers. In his opinion, the main law should ensure the decentralization of power, Komsomolskaya Pravda writes. He called it a sensible solution that will help Ukraine find a way out of the crisis. 

Head of Czech Republic recalled that the decentralization clause is inherent in Minsk agreements. Miloš Zeman expressed regret that no one abides by them. All that is needed for the resolution to take action is to change the constitution so that regions gain more independence.

The situation in Ukraine is reminiscent of a fragile truce between Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking people who experience mutual distrust of each other, Czech President explained.

According to Minsk-2, the corresponding constitutional reform was to enter into force in 2015. The basic law was supposed to prescribe the special status of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. 

As Russkiy Mir reported, Miloš Zeman is in favor of lifting of sanctions against Russia. According to him, both Russian and Western countries are affected by restrictions. Zeman is convinced that any sanctions bear negative consequences, while not giving any result. Head of state noted that politicians from Slovakia, Hungary, Italy and Austria agree with him.
