The ambassador said that bill No. 5430 amending the law on the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) in part of strengthening public control in the anti-corruption activities is not in line with the key requirement about transparent and independent audit of NABU with participation of representatives of international society.
