The State Commission for the Prevention of Corruption (SCPC) will review the decision on the objection from the presidential candidate Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova regarding the examinations at the Academy of Judges and Public Prosecutors (AJPP) “Pavel Shatev” during the pre-election process.
The objection from Siljanovska-Davkova was first supported by the SCPC on the grounds that the suspicions raised about the violation of the provisions of the Law on the Prevention of Corruption and Conflict of Interest and the Electoral Code were founded, after which the Academy filed a lawsuit which was reviewed and respected by the Administrative court. After the Administrative Court upheld the lawsuit of AJPP, the complaint was sent back to the SCPC for further processing.
According to Siljanovska-Davkova’s objection submitted on April 6 to the SCPC, AJPP, contrary to the Electoral Code, establishes a working relationship with the candidates who attend the training for judges and public prosecutors. In the justification of the objection, it is written that in January 2023 the Academy published an advertisement for the admission of 130 trainees for future judges and public prosecutors, and after the previously performed foreign language tests, the psychological test and the integrity test, on March 29, 2024, it published the schedule for passing the qualifying test.
