The Special Public Prosecutor’s Office has informed that Special Public Prosecutor Katica Janeva submitted her resignation.

At the moment when with the consensus of all political parties I was elected Special Public Prosecutor, I promised myself and the citizens of the Republic of Macedonia that I will perform the function of the Special Public Prosecutor in the interest of the rule of law and the fight against crime and corruption in the Republic of Macedonia. I got the job in extremely difficult circumstances and fully aware of the task that was given to me.

It was honored to serve the country and to be the head of an extremely professional prosecution team, an investigative team and a team of employees who work with utmost devotion. For months I am following the media coverage of the negotiations between the working groups of political parties on the future of the Special Public Prosecutor’s Office. Here, today I use the opportunity to inform the public that I will not allow my name to be used for someone’s alibi with which the fate of the Special Public Prosecutor’s Office and European Integrations of my country will be held hostage.

I submit my resignation that will become active as soon as the political parties agree on a new legal solution and will choose my successor.

Let me publicly thank the entire team of the Special Public Prosecutor’s Office with which we have written history. We should be proud because we represent a symbol of an uncompromising fight against the highest forms of organized crime and corruption.

I use the opportunity to thank all the citizens and the media that with the confidence in us and the support they give us are driving force for the responsible work that we do. I was and will remain ready to fight for better tomorrow of all citizens of the Republic of Macedonia, Katica Janeva said.
