Extraordinary VST session tomorrow, with assignment of prosecutors to TOK on the agenda
N1, citing FoNet, writes that an extraordinary session of the High Prosecutorial Council is scheduled for June 18 and that one proposed agenda item is the temporary assignment of public prosecutors to the Organized Crime Prosecutor's Office. The outlet links the session to the Venice Commission's follow-up opinion, which identified as a key problem with the Mrdic-law package that not all prosecutors had been assigned to TOK. N1 recalls that in March, because of the laws' application, four prosecutors were left outside TOK: Irena Bjelos, Aleksandar Barac, Aleksandar Isailovic, and Dragoljub Miladinovic; after the Commission's first opinion in May, five prosecutors were assigned, but Irena Bjelos and Aleksandar Barac, who worked on the railway-station canopy case and the Konjuh marijuana seizure case, were not returned.
