Details: The judge partially granted the defence’s application to have Tymoshenko’s pre-trial restriction changed.

Taking into account an order by the speaker of parliament, the court has permitted Tymoshenko to travel to Zagreb from 27 April to 3 May.

Under the court’s ruling, Tymoshenko must return her passport to the authorities within three days of returning to Ukraine.

The Anti-Corruption Action Centre said Tymoshenko told the court that representatives from 65 countries would be attending the event and that she would have the opportunity to “help Ukraine with her contacts”.

Tymoshenko also said that she would “never in her life, under any pressure or repression, leave Ukraine or go into hiding”.
