Description

The project purpose is to strengthen the capacity of the Judicial Council and of the Council of Public Prosecutors for an efficient performance of their tasks related to selection and appraisal of judges and prosecutors, human resources planning, court management and transparency of the judiciary. In addition, the project will support the Directorate of Execution of Sanctions in the enforcement of alternative measures through the establishment of a probation service in line with EU and international human rights standards. The project will provide direct advisory support to the judicial structures to implement the reforms of the judiciary. In this respect, the main focus will be on strengthening the capacities of the Judicial Council, Council of Public Prosecutors, Academy for judges and public prosecutors, courts and public prosecution offices for an efficient performance of their tasks related to the implementation of the EU standards. Furthermore, this project will support the Directorate for Execution of Sanctions to introduce the probation service and improve the enforcement of the alternative measures which will lead to the increasing enforcement of these measures by the courts thus reaching the effects of the punishment without the application of standard criminal sanctions.
