Under the draft, people with professional experience of ten years in the law sector, gained both in Moldova and abroad, can run for the office of prosecutor general or head of specialized prosecutor’s offices.

Also, the draft law sees the setting up of an independent commission, made up of people from outside the system, which is to be involved in the procedure of appointment of the chief prosecutor from the specialized prosecutor’s offices. This Commission will be made up of five members: one member nominated by the Justice Ministry, one – by the Moldovan president and three members nominated by the Superior Council of Prosecutors (CSP).
