That should provide constant monitoring of corruption issue so all competent organs would be informed from the start about possible corruption,” he was quoted as saying.

He also added that he would regularly inform European partners about all possible corruption cases. The EU experts gave several recommendations – police and prosecution’s proactive approach, reevaluation of officials’ immunity and software solutions that would help the prosecution and police. Homen explained that this would allow the police and prosecution to monitor competent organs’ actions at all times and added that it was necessary to provide electronic data interchange and access to databases. “This would strengthen cooperation between police and the prosecution and it would prevent some cases from ending up in a drawer,” the Justice Ministry state secretary pointed out.
