The Ministry of Justice is implementing the largest reform cycle in recent years, including about 30 pieces of legislation and a number of activities within the rule of law field, Macedonian Justice Minister Igor Filkov told EU ambassadors in the Government on Tuesday.
“In less than two years, we have prepared around thirty legal solutions, thirteen of which are directly related to the Reform Agenda. This legislative cycle represents the most extensive reform process implemented by the Ministry of Justice in such a short period of time and is clear evidence of the institutional capacity, responsibility and determination with which the reforms are being implemented,” noted Minister Filkov.
Within the fourth request for the release of funds from the Reform Agenda, in the “Rule of Law” area, 17 reform steps are being followed, with seven of them related to the adoption of 13 legal solutions that are within the competence of the Ministry of Justice.
Minister Filkovinformed that all legal solutions have been prepared, four have already been adopted by the Parliament, and the rest are in various stages of the legislative procedure. According to the current dynamics, the implementation of eight reform steps will be reported, while activities to ensure broader political support for two more continue, primarily for the Law on the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Electoral Code.
