Poroshenko waiting for parliament to pass procedural rules for operation of new Supreme Court

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said that he is waiting that Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada approves the procedural rules for the provision of operation of the new Supreme Court of the country in the near term.

"The start of work of the highest court in the judicial system is our top priority for next weeks and months," he said on the occasion of the Constitution Day in Ukraine in Kyiv on Wednesday.

Poroshenko recalled that last year he proposed to Rada to amend the Constitution of Ukraine for judicial reform and the parliament approved this.

He said that recently the tender to select judges to the Supreme Court would be finished, and the new procedural rules are to be passed.

"The tender is at the final stage, but it requires new procedural rules. I hope that in the near future the Verkhovna Rada would pass relevant bills and we will receive the full reloading of the Supreme Court of Ukraine, which would secure independence and impartiality of law," Poroshenko said.
