The spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana said on Wednesday Solana was not " particularly satisfied" with the early announcement of the election result in Ukraine.
"Mr Solana is not particularly satisfied that the election result was announced so early," said Luis Amorim, Solana's spokesman, when answering a phone call from Xinhua.
Earlier, election officials in Ukraine declared that Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych won the election over opposition candidate Viktor Yushchenko. The announcement raised fears of violence in Kiev, where tens of thousands of demonstrators have been demanding that the results be overturned.
On Wednesday afternoon, Solana held talks with leaders of party groups in the European Parliament, briefing them the situation in Ukraine.
Amorim said Solana urged political mediation on resolving the issue and that he had called Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma and opposition party leader, urging a negotiated settelment of the crisis.
"Solana himself is willing to travel to Ukraine at appropriate time," added Amorim.
