Ukraine protesters are vacating city hall in Kiev, the symbolic centre of
prolonged anti-government demonstrations, eyewitnesses say, reported BBC.
"City hall is
almost completely evacuated", opposition spokesman Ruslan Andriyko told AFP.
The government had
promised to drop all charges against demonstrators if they vacate government
buildings and lift roadblocks by Monday.
On Friday authorities
released the last of 243 prisoners who were arrested during the unrest.
The Swiss ambassador in
Kiev entered the building soon afterwards in order to help transfer the
building to the control of the authorities.
Switzerland currently
holds the rotating presidency of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation
in Europe.
Ukraine’s President Mr
Yanukovich passed an amnesty law earlier this month and agreed to negotiate
with the opposition after at least four people were killed in protests.
This weekend, some
opposition members continued to call for Mr Yanukovich’s departure, and another
demonstration is due to place in Kiev's central Independence Square.
