Opposition Party Calls for Special Parliamentary Committee on EU Funds and Prosecutor Selection

Progressive Slovakia (PS), an opposition liberal party, has demanded the establishment of a special parliamentary committee to investigate cases flagged by the European Public Prosecutor's Office regarding EU funds. The party is calling for a dedicated committee to examine what they describe as widespread fraud involving European funding. PS has also requested clear answers about the selection process for prosecutors handling these cases. The opposition has characterized Slovakia as a haven for EU funding fraud, highlighting concerns about the misuse of European funds within the country. The European Public Prosecutor's Office, established in 2017 to investigate crimes affecting the EU's financial interests including fraud involving EU funds, has apparently identified multiple problematic cases in Slovakia that warrant parliamentary scrutiny.
