Among panel speakers were: Geoffrey R. Pyatt, the United States Ambassador to Ukraine, Andreas von Beckerath, Ambassador of Sweden, George Logush, President, Kyiv School of Economics (KSE), Irina Paliashvili, Chair, USUBC Legal Committee and Managing Partner, RULG-Ukrainian Legal Group, Pavlo Sheremta, Chair, KSE Advisory Council, Dmytro Shymkiv, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine, Morgan Williams, President, U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC).<\/p>\n

\u201cUkraine has inherited structures optimized for corruption and profit of certain people. You need to change the system and demonstrate that Ukraine is ready to become a part of Western world.
\nThere is one thing that I’ve learnt during this year: Don’t underestimate Ukrainian people and their desire to live in democratic society. The critical points of the issues is the commitment of USA in the effort of Ukraine to reform juridical system\u201d, – Geoffrey R. Pyatt.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s impossible to overestimate the importance of coming reforms. Justice reforms are important for fair society. But it’s also extremely important for foreign investments.
\nWhen it comes to other countries’ experience, my advice will be: Look at other countries, be inspired by Baltic countries and Georgia, but don’t copypaste.
\nTo my mind, there have never been better conditions for European future in Ukraine. We have a reform oriented President and civil society that aims for reforms\u201d, – Andreas von Beckerath<\/p>\n
