Prague - Former Ukrainian Economy Minister Bohdan Danylyshyn will return to his homeland from Prague exile.

The politician told Aktualne.cz that after staying in the Czech Republic for three years, he will return to Ukrainian to present his political party, platform, and plan to solve the country's economic crisis. He will also focus on integrating Ukraine into Europe.

Danylyshyn is the first Ukrainian politician to have received political asylum in the Czech Republic. "When I received political asylum in 2011 and was released from the Pankrac prison (in Prague), I believed I would be able to return to my homeland. That time has come. Even when I my body was in the Czech Republic, my mind was with the people in my country," said Danylyshyn, without telling the exact date of his return.

Analysts believe that Danylyshyn would make a good "technocratic" prime minister, but he says he is not interested in government posts. "It is not my objective to run for some offices. It is not important for me."

Danylyshyn and his team have prepared a political platform with measures to reform Ukraine's economy, banking system, and state budget.

"After my return to Ukraine, we will present a new party. It will be a centrist political organization," said Danylyshy, adding that the party's members will be young European-educated people.

The new Ukrainian leadership should renew talks on the association agreement with the European Union as soon as possible, says the politician.

Danlylyshyn served in the second government of Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko from 2007 to 2010. The Yanukovych regime eventually accused him of abusing power, but the charges were dropped at the end of 2013.

Tymoshenko's husband Oleksandr has spent two years in Czech exile. Other former senior Ukrainian officials fled to Italy, Austria, and France.
