The Public Prosecutor’s Office (PPO) has insisted that all political parties stop abusing the investigative proceedings in case dubbed “Phoenix“; or any other action by the office for political purposes.
The PPO reminds all political stakeholders of the message that the U.S. Department of State issued a couple of days ago, which read “the leaders in North Macedonia must demonstrate strong, tangible results in the fight against corruption, by enhancing institutional independence and limiting political interference, especially in the judiciary, which is of essential importance for the fulfillment of the EU accession goals and building the citizens’ trust in the Government”.
The Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime and Corruption and the prosecutor appointed to the case are undertaking actions to secure evidence, guided by the principles of fairness and protection of the presumption of innocence," said the PPO.
