The Ministry of Justice of Ukraine explained to attorneys the procedure for obtaining information from the State Register of Proprietary Rights to Immovable Property
UNBA hosted an open meeting-discussion "Team-anti-raid, new opportunities", which was attended by representatives of the Committee on Protection of Business and Investors, which operates as a part of the UNBA by: Serhiy Khilchenko, Oleksandr Svitlychny, and Dmytro Lutsenko. The Head of the Anti-Rading Office Victor Dubovik also took part in the event.
