EC report identifies shortcomings in Czechia’s investigation of high-level corruption cases

Czechia has made significant progress in the past year in reforming its prosecutor's office as well as in completing a review of conflict of interest legislation, but it still has some shortcomings when it comes to investigating high-level corruption cases, according to the European Commission’s Rule of Law Report published this Wednesday.

Despite progress in some areas, the executive organ of the European Union also recommends Czechia to address the implementing of reforms on transparency of information on media ownership and take measures to address the remuneration of judges and judicial and prosecutorial staff.
