DescriptionKiev — Parliament postponed a confirmation hearing Thursday on Yulia Tymoshenko's nomination as prime minister as behind-the-scenes negotiations continued over who would fill the cabinet of Ukraine's new president, Viktor Yushchenko.

Adam Martinyk, deputy parliament Speaker, said lawmakers would reconvene on Friday. He cited “heated consultations” for the delay, but did not elaborate.

Ms. Tymoshenko needs approval from a simple majority of Ukraine's 450 members of parliament – a proportion that legislators said she should easily win.
