Ex-Minister of Transport of Poland Slawomir Nowak has been appointed new acting head of the State Automobile Roads Agency of Ukraine (Ukravtodor).

“We believe that [managing] Ukravtodor requires significant expertise, including international. Our position is that high-quality roads, highways that will connect us with Europe should be built in Ukraine, so the professional level of Ukravtodor needs to be raised,” Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman said before presenting Nowak at a government meeting in Kyiv on Oct. 19.
