Slovak Parliament and Government to Meet as NGOs Prepare Justice Ministry Comments on Criminal Procedure Amendment

Slovakia's National Council, the country's parliament, and the government are scheduled to convene for sessions this week. Non-governmental organizations plan to submit their comments to the Justice Ministry regarding proposed amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code. The parliamentary and government meetings come as civil society groups prepare to formally respond to legislative changes that could affect the country's criminal justice system. The Criminal Procedure Code governs how criminal cases are investigated and prosecuted in Slovakia's courts.
