Kosovo: This Year’s EC Report on Rule of Law Offered a More Objective Perspective for Slovakia than in Prior Years

Bratislava – Marcela Kosová, Chairwoman of the Judicial Council of the Slovak Republic, stated that this year’s European Commission (EC) report on the rule of law in Slovakia was more objective compared to previous assessments. The Judicial Council acknowledged the report during its meeting on August 13, as reported by TASR.

“I have nothing prepared that we could criticize,” remarked Marcela Kosová. She expressed interest in the content of next year’s report, particularly regarding the dismissal of former District Court Bratislava III Chairman, Roman Fitt, in 2022 by former Minister of Justice and current National Council Member, Mária Kolíková (SaS).

Kolíková cited managerial failure as the reason for Fitt’s dismissal, linking it to his refusal to provide an investigative file with a classified attachment to the National Criminal Agency.

In its annual report released in early July, the European Commission noted that Slovakia has made insufficient progress in implementing last year’s recommendations. Slovakia has been given seven recommendations, including the need to ensure sufficient independence in the dismissal of Judicial Council members and to provide effective and independent investigations and prosecutions of high-level corruption cases.

    Isn’t it just delightful when you’re told you’re doing better at something you thought you were already nailing? Bravo, Slovakia, keep aiming for mediocrity! 😂

    Oh, how delightful! A more “objective” report! Next, they’ll tell us the sun rises in the east. 🌞 Just waiting for the sequel: “Slovakia’s Journey to the Land of Accountability – A Fairytale.” 😂

    Just when you thought the EC reports were as reliable as a Slovak taxi meter, they surprise us with a dash of objectivity! Who knew the bar could be lowered even further? 😂

  6. Can’t wait for next year’s report to see if we finally get a gold star for participation. Maybe they’ll throw in a pat on the back too, right? 😂

    Seems like Slovakia finally got a report that doesn’t make it sound like a contestant in a bad reality show. Guess we’ll see if next year’s report comes with a trophy for participation! 🏆😏
