Architect of successful Polish
reforms Leszek Balcerowicz became President’s Representative in the Cabinet of
Ministers. Respective Decree was signed by Petro Poroshenko on Friday.
President Petro Poroshenko and
Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman had a meeting with Leszek Balcerowicz and
Ivan Mikloš.
The establishment of the Group
of Strategic Advisors on the Support for Reforms in Ukraine has been endorsed
by the EU. On Thursday, Petro Poroshenko discussed this issue with Commissioner
for European Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn.
“We will not have a team of
the President or Prime Minister. We will have one team that will reform the
country,” the Head of State noted.
Mr. Balcerowicz was also
appointed Advisor to the President of Ukraine and Co-Chairman of the Group of
Strategic Advisors on the Support for Reforms in Ukraine.
Ivan Mikloš became another
Co-Chairman of the Group. He will also chair the group of advisors to the Prime
Minister of Ukraine.
The Prime Minister noted: “It
will be a great honor for me to work with Mr. Balcerowicz and Mr. Mikloš. I
believe the Cabinet of Ministers has the same opinion. I would like to say that
the majority of ministers are determined to implement reforms in the country”.
“Ukraine’s development is much
better than it is pictured abroad. I have to show these achievements that are
not always noticed by the West,” Leszek Balcerowicz said.
Leszek Balcerowicz told that
he would, inter alia, work with western investors and politicians in order to
outline real situation in Ukraine and show achievements of our country on the
track of reforms.
Ivan Mikloš emphasized that
Ukraine had significant unused potential. “Our goal is not to create a parallel
structure, but to help Ukrainian reformers overcome problems,” he noted.
