"The anti-corruption court should be formed on a competitive basis under the close supervision of the Ukrainian public. However, I believe that it is impossible for this court to turn into a political inquisition, as someone dreams. It is out of discussion," he said.

Poroshenko stressed that this court should be an effective anti-corruption institution guided by the rule of law and the principles of national sovereignty. "Ukrainians themselves are capable of forming a judicial system, including the anti-corruption court," the president said.

He expressed confidence that Ukraine is able to demonstrate this in accordance with the requirements of the Constitution and the Council of Europe standards.
