KIEV, Sept. 19 - Ukraine's president says he is pressing Kiev authorities to solve a row over a building site which threatens to disqualify the city's main stadium from hosting the final of the 2012 European soccer championship, Reuters reported.

Viktor Yushchenko was speaking after UEFA president Michel Platini said Kiev's 84,000-seat Olympic stadium could not be used for Euro 2012, to be held jointly with Poland, unless construction of a nearby shopping ceter was halted.
