Saakashvili calls media who announce his dismissal from post of governor 'dreamers'

Mikheil Saakashvili, head of the Odesa region's state administration, has commented on the media reports on his possible dismissal from his post.

"There is no harm in dreaming," he said on Facebook, posting a screenshot with information stating that the Ukrainian president has allegedly signed a decree dismissing him from the post of the head of the Odesa region.

"During the president's visit tomorrow, we will introduce my three new deputies, among whom are graduates from Cambridge and Princeton Universities, the London School of Economics, and, most importantly, very interesting and active young people," Saakashvili said.

Some media earlier reported on the plans to dismiss Saakashvili from the post of head of the Odesa region's state administration and linked that event to the arrival of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in the Odesa region on October 7.

However, Interfax-Ukraine sources in the bodies of authority do not confirm this information as of today.
