KIEV, Nov. 27 – President Viktor Yushchenko said Tuesday he will meet each of the seven Our Ukraine-People’s Self-defense lawmakers who have so far refused to sign an agreement to create a pro-Western government coalition.

Yushchenko said he will listen to the lawmakers’ complaints Wednesday and will try to persuade them “within two days” to create a coalition with the group led by former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
