Academy of Judges and Prosecutors Ninth Generation Status Quo Situation Remains

The status quo regarding the blocked ninth generation of candidates at the Academy for Judges and Prosecutors remains.

At Tuesday’s meeting of the Managing Board of the Academy, the institution’s Director, Irina Trajkoska Strezoski, shared with Board members information and answers from institutions related to the generation, stopped during the pre-election period through a decision by the State Commission for Prevention of Corruption (SCPC), confirmed also by the Administrative Court.

According to the decision, the admission exam constitutes a violation of the Electoral Code in a pre-election period. However, the process didn’t resume following the elections either as a result of the Government’s decision to stop employment processes and freeze consents from the Finance Ministry issued before 14 March 2024.

Board members have now decided to ask for a response for the institution headed by Gordana Dimitrieska-Kochoska before they start a discussion, as well as a decision-making process, on how to proceed.
