Upon a proposal from the Justice Ministry, the Government, at its session on Tuesday, determined the Council of Public Prosecutors Bill. As the Ministry said, it represents a significant step towards strengthening the independence, accountability, and transparency of the public-prosecutorial system.
The key changes concern a regulated-in-detail procedure to dismiss Council President and Deputy President, strengthened role of the Council in the procedure to elect and dismiss the Prosecutor General, stronger transparency of the Council’s work, introduction of precise and clear criteria to elect Council members, and a regulated-in-detail procedure to dismiss a Council member.
