Today’s attempt by government and opposition working groups to move their positions on the Law on Public Prosecutor’s Office closer together was not successful, “360 Degrees” reported.

Justice Minister Renata Deskoska and her deputy Oliver Ristovski met with VMRO-DPMNE representatives Toni Menkinovski and Timco Mucunski in the Parliament building late this afternoon.

After a three-hour meeting, differences remain over the mandate of the Special Prosecutor’s Office prosecutors and the continuation of the SPO cases.

Deputy Minister of Justice Oliver Ristovski, however, assessed the meeting as constructive.

The meeting was constructive and will continue these days. That’s all I can say at the moment, Ristovski told” 360 Degrees “.

If there is no political agreement by September 15 on the draft law on the Public Prosecutor’s Office and what will happen to the SPO and its cases, the position of the Council of Public Prosecutors will have to be decisive in deciding whether to appoint  acting SPO chief.
