The United States of America pays special attention to judicial reform in Ukraine, in particular, the creation of a Specialized Anti-Corruption Court, said the US Ambassador in Kiev Marie Jovanovic.

"We are working with all participants in the formation of the Supreme Court. Separately, we single out one important reform - the foundation of an anti-corruption court in Ukraine. After all, there are already independent detectives and prosecutors in the country. But to ensure the results that Ukrainian citizens want, an independent judiciary is also needed, "the diplomat said in an interview with Hromadske. Ua, published on Friday, May 5.

Jovanovic also spoke about the US contribution to the creation of anti-corruption mechanisms and bodies in Ukraine:

with the support of Washington, Prozorro public procurement system was launched, and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office and the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption.

Speaking about the importance of carrying out judicial reform, Jovanovic linked her success with attracting foreign investments.

"Reforms in the sphere of justice are critically important for Ukrainians who want fair treatment from judges, and for foreign investors - in case business disputes reach this point," the diplomat stressed..
