The High Prosecutorial Council (HPC) has approved a decision on several changes to the regulation on the ethical and professional evaluation of prosecutors.

Regulation:

For a 3-year period

Prosecutors who participate in up to 5 days of training will receive 5 points. For participation from 6 to 15 days, 1.5 points will be awarded for each day, but not more than 20 points. For participation over 120 days, 1.5 points will be deducted for each day.

For a 5-year period

For participation up to 5 days of training, 5 points will be awarded. For participation from 6 to 30 days, 0.66 points will be awarded for each day. Participation over 200 days will result in a deduction of 0.66 points for each day.

There are also changes in the score for participation in inter-institutional activities and public relations. All prosecutors will be assessed with 5 points for this indicator, as participation in these activities does not always depend on their will. However, those who are assigned to participate and do not do so without objective reasons will be assessed with 0 points.

As a bonus, prosecutors who participate in these activities simultaneously with their judicial work will benefit from 2 additional days in the calculation of training points.
