After holding talks with the president, Tymoshenko and the leaders of the pro-Yushchenko party signed an agreement that gives Tymoshenko's party the right to name the prime minister -- virtually assuring she would get the post -- and allows Yushchenko's party to name the parliament speaker.In September, a judge ordered Spears, 25, to submit to random drug tests after finding she engaged in "habitual, frequent, and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol.""We have no time to waste, we have a number of urgent matters on the agenda," Yushchenko told Tymoshenko and the leaders of his bloc, according to the presidential Web site.The signing appeared to be a response to Yushchenko's tacit endorsement of the so-called Orange coalition. Yushchenko urged the two forces to quickly form a cabinet.The document, however, had no official force, since a legally binding coalition agreement can only be signed by parliamentary factions after the legislature convenes. No date has been set."We have drawn conclusions from what happened in previous years," Tymoshenko said in remarks confirmed by her office. "We firmly know what to do, we firmly know how, and with which team."The two blocs were central to the 2004 protests against electoral fraud that swept Yushchenko to power in peaceful upheaval known as the Orange Revolution. But the team shattered when he fired Tymoshenko as premier after seven months in office.The two parties also missed a chance to form the government together following the March 2006 parliamentary election, disappointing supporters.She was there about 45 minutes while being booked on misdemeanor counts of hit-and-run and driving without a valid California driver's license, Lopez said.
