KYIV, Aug 2 – The European Union's special attention in the support of reforms in Ukraine is given to the scaled-up fight against corruption, Peter Wagner, the head of the Support Group for Ukraine, said.

"For the EU, a scaled-up fight against corruption [in Ukraine] is a top priority because of its horizontal nature," he said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

"We keep stressing this: the intensive work on the anti-corruption front must not slow down. There is still a lot to do," he said.
