The Justice Ministry put forward amendments to the act on the public prosecution that would give the government greater say in the appointment of Slovenian prosecutors delegated to the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO).
The proposal stipulates that the Justice Ministry would get the power to propose candidates in the event that an insufficient number of prosecutors applied in the public call. The final decision on the appointment would be in the hands of the government, and not the Public Prosecutors’ Council.
