The statement especially emphasized that it is very important that the competence and powers of these specialized departments are fully respected by all government institutions.
“We express our support for the creation of the High Anti-Corruption Court and are ready to provide assistance as this process unfolds. Independent and transparent selection of judges is of key importance,” the diplomats emphasized.
