Kyiv, August 6 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The coordination bureau for preparing for and holding Euro 2012 in Ukraine has prepared a program for building apartment hotels on the basis of unfinished residential housing in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa and Kharkiv to accommodate tourists during the Euro 2012 Football Championship finals in Ukraine, Volodymyr Kochetkov-Sukach, advisor of Vice Prime Minister Ivan Vasiunyk, has stated.

"We need to compensate for the lack of accommodation for Euro 2012 [guests]. The program is already developed. We had a meeting with Vice Prime Minister Vasiunyk. We are planning to get approval from the cabinet by the end of August," he told the Interfax-Ukraine news agency on Wednesday.

He added that some UAH 5 billion is needed to realize the program. He didn't name the sources of funding, only saying that these would be investments made under state guarantee.

Kochetkov-Sukach also said that 5-10 unfinished objects would be chosen in each host city.
