Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the evolution of the role of President in the political system of Ukraine. The place and the role of President, as an institution, in the political system of Ukraine has changed several times between 1996 and 2010. The very presence of such office as well as the prerogatives of the head of state were the subject of intense discussions in the Parliament, and various political forces were arguing over desirable shape of the Ukrainian political system. When some of them opted for parliamentary republic, other pursued the presidential or presidential-parliamentary model. The main problem, however, was that all the reforms and discussions about the political system were not implemented to improve the situation in the state, but to secure the influence of individual interest groups.
