Kalena, the project of building a stadium in Lviv is moving on schedule. But the authorities of the city will still have to do quite a lot of work to make over the next two months to show themselves worthy.

Kiev Representative UEFA cautiously praised. My colleagues, who are responsible for the stadium in Kiev, are satisfied with work done on it. All of it goes on ... Considerable progress was made on the Olympic , - stated Cullen. And although experts are not concerned, be built whether the NSC in a timely manner, however, he said, Kiev still has not provided in the UEFA plans for rebuilding the stadium. In addition, the Kiev authorities to solve the issue of transporting people from the international airport Borispol to the capital.

In Kharkov we can talk again about the lack of availability of hotel rooms. They will be built even more, but we need guarantees. Donetsk airport - on the stage designer.

Commentary

Paul Ciruli, head of the Public Organization Committee of public control Euro-2012:

- main problem of preparation of Ukraine for the championship - the lack of modern tourist infrastructure. This is especially true good hotels ... Today's willingness to appreciate the tourism infrastructure at the level of 10-15% of the minimum required for an event of this magnitude. Therefore, maximum attention should be paid to the construction of hotels. Often, the executive said that in the construction of sports infrastructure Ukraine ahead of your own schedule and Poland. This is true. But to achieve such a result was possible thanks to private investment Mr. Yaroslavsky and Akhmetov, who built stadiums in their cities.

As for tourism infrastructure (to which I count not only hotels, but airports, railway junctions and transport interchanges), Ukraine lags far behind Poland. Willingness Kiev appreciate at the preparatory level, because the issue of construction of large infrastructure projects (airports and transport interchanges), we are lagging behind. At the same time - I'm an optimist, and I want to believe that the Euro-2012 will be held in Ukraine.
