The independence of the investigation is a major challenge for the criminal justice system in the country. The current legislation does not provide sufficient guarantees for the investigation to be conducted in an objective, competent and impartial manner. A few years ago, the state commenced work on the reform in response to existing challenges. During the parliamentary elections, the issue of reform was active on a larger scale. It is commendable that the ruling political party took political responsibility for the reform.

At this stage, the state needs to be able to implement the reform; to create an open and inclusive working process, so that the reform implementation is not merely formal, is carried out properly, taking into account all the fundamentally important issues.
