Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has announced he will submit his own bill on the establishment of the Higher Anti-corruption Court if the Ukrainian parliament does not expedite its creation.
"Tomorrow it will be a month since I proposed to the parliament to speed up the establishment of the Anti-corruption Court," he wrote on Facebook.
According to the president, "the reason was to create the best possible conditions for its quick adoption." In his words, the bill should have been agreed between different political forces at the drafting stage.
