About it reports the website Censor.
The first document was received by local resident Svyatoslav Litinsky. He had been in court for six months over the removal of a page in Russian from his passport, on May 20 he won his appeal and has now received a passport.
“In my new passport, all the entries are in Ukrainian, but on the old, that is, bilingual, form. It turns out that both the first and second pages of the passport are filled out only in Ukrainian by hand, and the inscriptions on the form itself are printed in two languages,” said Svyatoslav Litinsky.
He noted that this is the second court decision to issue a passport only in Ukrainian. A similar decision has already been made in Nikolaev. However, the owner of the passport refused to pick it up because the forms were bilingual.
In addition to these two cases, there are four more similar court decisions: in Sumy, Transcarpathian and Kyiv regions. Litinsky also, through the court, obtained from Privatbank the provision of statements and checks exclusively in Ukrainian. Litinsky is an active participant in the Facebook community “Ukrainian language in Privatbank”.
Let us remind you that from January 1, 2016, all forms of Ukrainian passports will be in Ukrainian with Latin transliteration.
