They discussed the existing tools and opportunities for support and consultancy in developing and promoting reforms.

The speaker stressed that all drafts would be compulsorily consulted with the society, including with professionals in the field, as well as with the foreign partners, such as the Venice Commission.

Zinaida Grecianii reiterated openness for discussing the subjects related to reform, noting that she was not afraid of discussing the problems.

The sides were unanimous in identifying criteria on which work will be carried out in continuation. The reform is to be carried out transparently; decision-makers will try to get the political, institutional consensus and the one of the professional environment for the way of the process and the latter is to be inclusively with respect for the balance of the state powers, principle of the powers’ separation, as well as of the judges’ independence.

“The colleagues from the mission of the Council of Europe warned us that we must hurry, but slowly. Once this reform has been implemented in the judicial system, we will have a broad consensus in society and discussions. We are determined to go all the way. We will take into account the recommendations of the Council of Europe and the representatives of the Council of Europe ”, said the chairman of the commission, Vasile Bolea in a press conference.
