EUROPEAN UNION STRUCTURES SUPPORT JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE
30.04.2014. 14:31During the Structural Dialogue meeting held in Brussels, EU institutions supported the views of the Venice Commission regarding the independence of the judiciary, independent appointment of Prosecutors as well as prevention of political interference in the work of prosecutors and the judiciary.
The Prosecutor’s Office of BiH welcomes these views and advises the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina that it will continue with the prosecution of war crimes, organized crime and corruption aiming to entrench the rule of law in Bosnia and Herzegovina as the key segment in our country’s process of European integration.
A very positive step is also the assessment of the European Commission, which supports the efforts of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH, regional cooperation of the prosecutor’s offices and entrenchment of the rule of law in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
