Brussels – European Commissioner for Justice Didier Reynders has urged Slovenia’s Justice Minister Lilijana Kozlovič to speed up the appointment of European delegated prosecutors. The European Public Prosecutor’s Office is set to be launched on 1 June and the only other participating country running behind is Finland, unofficial sources have told the STA.
Reynders addressed Kozlovič in a letter sent to her on Thursday and seen by the STA. He wrote that he counted on the minister to adopt all final measures to allow the launch of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office by 1 June.
The commissioner also called on Kozlovič to forward to the European Public Prosecutor’s Office Slovenia’s candidate list for prosecutors as soon as possible and no later than 18 May. In March, Reynders called on states to conclude appointment procedures in April.
