stressed curbing corruption is among the topmost priorities for the new
Government. Hence, the first step in this direction was approval of the Law
of Ukraine “On the public procurement” which satisfies the European
standards. Pavlo Sheremeta noted the steps
made by the Government in the direction of combating corruption are closely
watched by the partner-countries of Ukraine and by international financial
organizations as well. However, according to him, the principal controller of
the authorities must be society. |
