Competition for Chief State Prosecutor, Prosecutor of the Prosecutor's Office sees tendency to damage professional reputation

In her response, the prosecution stresses that it is a matter that has been handled and closed by competent institutions because of the lack of legal basis for further actions.

BIRN and Calxo's recent operations.com contain groundless claims that violate my professional integrity and create a false perception of public opinion”.

According to her, recurrentising this topic in the period when the competition for the chief state prosecutor is open raises doubts that the main goal of reporting is not informing the public, but damaging the image and professional reputation.

“Report based on institutions and unilateral interpretations, bypassing official decisions of responsible institutions, does not serve transparency and public interest”, Periscopi reportedly broadcasts in response.

The prosecution estimates that such reports create unfair perceptions and violate trust in institutional processes.

The response also cites continuing concerns about media involvement in operational actions of the tracking organs, as well as memorandums of co-operation that, according to the Prosecutor, could create perceptions of a privileged approach in investigative information or procedures.

Furthermore, the prosecution stresses that it remains committed to the exercise of office in accordance with the Constitution, law in force and higher professional standards.

“We do not seek privileged treatment or protection from public criticism. However, we expect any reporting to be balanced, fair and based on verified facts”, it says in response, broadcasts Klanoskova.tv.

In the end, the prosecution calls on citizens to assess this issue on the basis of facts, procedures and official decisions of competent institutions, rather than on narravities created in public space.
