The Head of State listened to the general positions of the representatives of political parties on candidates for Auditor General, which, in principle, could be divided into two. One part of the representatives of factions found that the new Auditor General meeting the standards set by law could come from political circles. The others saw the main criteria in candidate's political independence and professional competence.
The President will continue his consultations about the topic in question after his state visit to Ukraine.
