He stated this during a meeting with Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Andrei Parubiy in Kyiv, the Kiev publication “Zerkalo Nedeli” reports.
“Now is the time to start selling state-owned enterprises, which will improve the situation in the economy and improve the situation with corruption. I consider the creation of the Anti-Corruption Court to be a critical addition to the previously created NABU, SAPO and NAPC,” he said.
Andriy Parubiy expressed hope that the privatization process in Ukraine will begin this spring. “I am full of optimism that we will reach a positive decision,” Parubiy noted.
