In particular, she emphasized that the rule of law and justice are key demands of the Ukrainian people. "Therefore, as I emphasized at the GAC meeting, our course is irreversible," she said.
"Over the past 10 years, all institutions have been created, reforms have been implemented to reboot the judicial sector; the anti-corruption framework has been created, as well as legislation. [Another issue we are focused on is demonopolization and the creation of a competitive market economy. To achieve this, we have taken a number of measures to remove the ability of individuals to shape public opinion and policy. We are bringing Ukrainian legislation in line with EU standards and rules. Now our priority is to realize, in particular, the effective work of all established institutions," Stefanishyna said.
