VELYKI SOROCHYNTSI (Poltava region), Aug. 18 - President Viktor Yanukovych has predicted "relative stability" in prices of bread.

"We have no grounds to say that bread will significantly grow in price," he told reporters on Wednesday while attending the Sorochyntsi Fair.

"There will be relative stability in prices on the bread market," Yanukovych said.

He also said he did not rule out a slight rise in prices of bread, but added that the authorities would do their best to prevent this.
