Brussels – Following several calls to speed up appointment of Slovenia’s two delegated European prosecutors, Justice Minister Lilijana Kozlovič says she has done all in her power, while it is now on the government as a whole to act. The minister is in Brussels as part of Slovenia’s preparations for EU presidency.
Asked by the press whether Slovenia would manage to send the names of the two candidates to Brussels on time, Kozlovič said she had provided for a legal basis for the two prosecutors, the premises, funding and staff.
“The next urgent step is a decision by the government as a collective body. I myself am making an effort for this institution, which is also necessary for Slovenia, to be fully set up,” she told Slovenian correspondents in Brussels.
