At the same time, no one will take anything from anyone and not violate anyone’s rights," Yermak said.
The parties also raised the issue of adopting a law on improving the organizational and legal framework of the Security Service of Ukraine, holding a competition to elect the head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) and the course of judicial reform, in respect of which significant progress was noted.
