The European Bank for restoration and development does not expect a breakdown of allocation of loan to Ukraine for $ 300 million intended for payment of purchased by Kiev in the European Union gas, said the managing Director of EBRD for Eastern Europe and the Caucasus Francis Malizh.

"There is reason to believe that all will be given, as it (the loan) was approved by the EBRD Board of Directors," said Malizh at a press conference on Thursday.

The EBRD Board of Directors at the end of September, blessed the allocation of this loan to "Naftogaz of Ukraine" under the guarantee of the government. However, at the appointed time the loan agreement between the parties was not signed due to the fact that EBRD is not satisfied with the Kiev approved a plan to reform the system of corporate management of " Naftogaz ".

Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk have said before on Thursday, October 16, will hold a meeting with Western financial institutions for the settlement of disputes, which are a hindrance to the provision of the Kyiv access to $ 300 million EBRD loan. According to his statement, the allocation of funds put at risk the position of the Ministry of energy of Ukraine.
