KYIV, June 18 - The new president of Ukraine and the new government should start a new negotiation process with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to stimulate the development of Ukraine's economy and reduce tariffs, Batkivschyna Party leader Yulia Tymoshenko said.

"When the president changes, the government and the parliament change. And a new highly professional negotiation process is needed without tariff increases, without reducing social security. And such negotiations are possible. New negotiations are needed to continue cooperation until the shortage of funding is covered," Tymoshenko said on NewsOne television on June 13.
