“The key priorities of our legal policy, which are to ensure sovereignty and security, effective economy and balanced social welfare policy, remain unchanged,” Igor Sergeyenko said.

“It is important to focus not on the number of laws adopted but on the creation of optimal conditions for the peaceful and dynamic development of all spheres of life of the state and society.
