In the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine and it's potential EU candidate status, the IIP organized an IIP Talk with Olena Halusha, board member in the Ukraine-based Anti-Corruption Action Center, avid writer and political commentator. The President of the IIP, Hannes Swoboda, talked to Olena Halushka about Ukraine's EU Integration and its anti-corruption measures. The EU commission already gave the green light for Ukraine and Moldova to become official EU candidate countries. The EU council meeting, on the 24th of June, is expected to discuss this issue even further and to give its final opinion and decide whether Ukraine and Moldova should become EU candidate countries.
