The appointment of the chief anti-corruption prosecutor is being delayed, Artem Sytnyk, head of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, told the Kyiv Post on Sept. 12 at the Yalta European Strategy forum in Kyiv.

The chief anti-corruption prosecutor is expected to work in tandem with the National Anti-Corruption Bureau to prosecute top-level graft. The bureau was initially scheduled to start working in October but without the anti-corruption prosecutor it will not be able to operate.
