The group should develop within two months algorithms of effective cooperation between law enforcement and central executive agencies in stolen asset recovery.

The group will also analyze Ukrainian laws in such spheres as the regulation of the financial services markets, foreign economic activity, anti-corruption and anti-money laundering to identify obstacles to the return of stolen assets to Ukraine.

The group should thus prepare proposals how to improve those laws.
