The Justice Committee endorsed amendments to the act on the state prosecution that lay down the selection criteria for Slovenia’s two members of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, amidst complaints by the opposition that the required level of knowledge of English was an unnecessary condition.
Slovenia had secured the legal basis for the appointment of delegated EU prosecutors, who will monitor the spending of EU funds, with May 2019 amendments to the state prosecution act. Last autumn the European Public Prosecutor’s Office adopted rules of procedure, which requires certain corrections to the Slovenian law.
