Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko urged the pro-presidential party on Wednesday to come back to the governing coalition.
"You have 10 days of no ultimatum, no demands, no provocation to come back to the democratic coalition." Tymoshenko said in a televised statement.
"I hope that our coalition partners are wise and have a well-considered approach. I believe the coalition will be maintained," Tymoshenko stressed.
Tymoshenko also accused president Viktor Yushchenko of wrecking the coalition and said her party was not looking for new partners.
The Our Ukraine-People's Self-Defense Bloc decided to leave the ruling coalition after members of Tymoshenko's bloc and the opposition Party of Regions voted together on Tuesday to reduce the president's powers.
Under the constitution, the coalition has 10 days to bridge its differences. After that, if parliament does not create a new coalition within 30 days, president can call an snap election.
