According to a press release by PG, ‘’Moldova’s parliament, urgently, while ignoring the procedures of decision-making transparency, without taking into account the recommendations by the Venice Commission, experts in the field, as well as the opinions of the institutions, the work of which is concerned, today approved a string of amendments to the Law on the Prosecutor’s Office in the final reading.’’

“The Prosecutor General’s Office expresses disagreement with the way the concerned amendments were promoted and adopted, or in the version elaborated by the Justice Ministry, they run the risk of producing effects which seriously harm the constitutional principles concerning the independence of the Prosecutor’s Office and separation of the state powers, undermining the prosecutors’ independence to the advantage of political factor,’’ the communique reads.
