The European Commission (EC) positively assesses the new Law on Academy for Judges and Prosecutors, which has been recently adopted in the Parliament, in the screening report on the Fundamentals cluster, the Ministry of Justice said in a press release on Thursday.
“This is a great acknowledgment from the international community that monitors the progress of the Republic of North Macedonia. The legal changes were initiated by the Minister of Justice Krenar Lloga, and supported by the MPs of the ruling majority, after they were previously blocked in the Parliament. The Academy for Judges and Prosecutors remains a bright spot in the reform process of the justice system,” the EC concluded in the screening report, reads the press release.
With the changes, it is possible to obtain a unified certificate for completed initial training for judges and public prosecutors. The European Commission considers that this represents a great benefit in raising the quality of the selection of the best, who are registered for admission to the Academy’s initial training.
