EU ambassador welcomes new anti-corruption coordinator

The EU Ambassador to Ukraine, Matti Maasikas, wrote about this on Twitter.

"Oleksandr Klymenko was nominated today to head the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office -  Ukraine delivers on one of the recommendations that accompanied the EU candidate status! A long selection process finalized, offering lessons. I wish Mr Klymenko strength and courage!", he wrote. 

It is known that in order to maintain the status of a candidate for EU accession, Kyiv had to complete the appointment of the Head of the SAPO, already selected in the competition, and hold a competition for the head of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine.
