"I urge the new leaders of Ukravtodor and Ukrtransbezpeka to update leadership in the regions as quickly as possible, because I am convinced that the people who have worked there so far, overwhelmingly, either represented the interests of shadow players or turned a blind eye to this," Honcharuk said.

Better personnel policy will lower the cost of road construction and operation, the minister stresses.
