The aim of the project is to improve the functioning of the rule of law in Slovakia. The Prosecutor's Office, the Constitutional Court and the Judicial Council are key guarantors of the rule of law. The aim of the project is to design and implement system changes to eliminate the biggest shortcomings in their operation. Based on the analysis of their decision-making activities, legislation and application practice, the VI will prepare proposals for systemic changes, for which we will seek the support of the government and the institutions themselves, which are to be affected by the changes. A great added value of the project is the intensive cooperation with the professional public during the entire implementation. The urgency of the topic is amplified by the election of a new Attorney General in 2020 and a Special Prosecutor in 2021. The Prosecutor General's Office (GP) has already taken the first steps towards change. It has set up a working group that is preparing a major amendment. We confirm the confirmation of our expertise that the GP nominated two representatives of VIA IURIS to this working group as the only representatives of the civil sector, and at the end of 2019 they completed the first working negotiations.
The proposed system changes translated into new laws will have a major impact on the quality of the rule of law in Slovakia in the long term.
