The People’s Deputies note that “the constitutional petition was filed due to the fact that in the process of reforming the bodies of state power of Ukraine, international experts have been involved in the formation of key institutions, including anti-corruption, law enforcement and judicial bodies, as well as in monitoring their activities on a systematic basis.”
