Ukrainian News learned this from a statement by the press service of Ministry for Regional Development and Construction, the wording of which was made available to the agency.
The statement reads that Kyivmiskbud has been selected to build houses for the depositors of Elite Center.

The Ministry for Regional Development and Construction has sent a request to Kyiv municipal state administration to lease 14 land lots at a symbolic price.

The governmental commission will consider lists of investors of Elite Center soon.
To date, the list drawn up by the Ministry of Interior Affairs includes 1,779 investors, while Kyiv municipal state administration has drawn up its list of 350 investors that need housing the most.
Representatives of investors say the list of Kyiv municipal state administration should be checked, as they believe the list includes people that have nothing to do with the incident.

President Viktor Yuschenko asked Chairman of the Supreme Court, Vasyl Onopenko to accelerate consideration of cases of the investors, who had become victims of the Elite Center fraud.
The Cabinet of Ministers created a commission to settle provision of the fraud victims with new housing.

Yuschenko reprimanded Kyiv Mayor Leonid Chernovetskyi for the municipal administration's unsatisfactory efforts to provide housing to the victims of the Elite Center apartment fraud.
February 4 through 10, ten victims of the fraud launched a hunger strike in front of the Presidential Secretariat, demanding protection of their right to housing.
