Before the official start of negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the EU, the ministers arrived in Kyiv for the second meeting in the Weimar Triangle + Ukraine format. One of the goals of the visit was to take a closer look at the reforms that Ukraine has implemented, particularly over the past two years since becoming an EU candidate country. At an extended meeting at the NACP, they discussed Ukraine's main achievements in preventing and combating corruption.
The heads of the NABU and the SAPO spoke about the most high-profile investigations of the agencies and outlined additional steps to be taken by the state to build institutional independence of the anti-corruption agencies and strengthen their capacity. In particular, they drew attention to changes to the legislation necessary for the effective fulfillment of the tasks assigned to the anti-corruption jurisdiction bodies. This primarily concerns the abolition of the so-called "Lozovyi's Rules", granting the Head of the SAPO the authority to initiate proceedings against MPs of Ukraine, etc.
The effectiveness of the work of anti-corruption agencies and the High Anti-Corruption Court, as well as the presentation of their achievements, contributes to advocating Ukraine's European integration course.
