Creation of specialized anti-corruption court is urgent - Poroshenko

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said that the independent specialized anti-corruption judicial institution should be created as soon as possible.

"The issue of creating a specialized anti-corruption judicial institution is urgent. It must depend only on the Law, but free from any outside influence: my influence and your [parliamentarians'] influence, political parties and progressive people," he said delivering his annual message to parliament on Thursday.

Poroshenko said that this anti-corruption institution must meet standards of the Council of Europe and the Venice Commission.

"The main thing, it must be effective, not created for the sake of appearance," the head of state said.
