Skopje, 31 July 2010 (MIA) - The Government will address the weak spots Brussels has notified, such as the public administration, judiciary and some other spheres, while the fight against crime, corruption will resume with fierce dynamics, Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski told reporters on Saturday.
A series of laws, which are to be adopted this October or November and enforced in the next two years, will bring substantial changes to the judiciary, Gruevski said.
The Prime Minister said he sent a letter to Euro-enlargement Commisioner Stefan Fule, briefing him about the Macedonian Government's plans in regard to the judicial, public administration reforms, as well as the ongoing efforts for fighting crime and corruption, Gruevski said after a corner-laying ceremony for three tennis fields in Skopje settlement Karpos.
The new law on criminal procedure will emphasise the Public Prosecutor's role, as it is the case in Italy, Germany and in line with the recommendations of European experts, presented during their visit to Macedonia, Gruevski said.
He also pointed out that Slovenian expert had been engaged for the reform of the public administration, considering his achievements in this sphere at home. He has drafted an action plan and we are now waiting for SIGMA's appraisal report to go forward, the PM said.
Gruevski said there was no difference between his and the positions of future Macedonia's Ambassador to NATO Martin Trenevski on the country's acession to the Alliance.
It seems there has been a misunderstanding, maybe improper choice of words during the presentation of his future activities, the PM said, pointing out that Trenevski would give several interviews in the next few days and better explain his ideas.
Macedonia's NATO membership is the Government's strategic goal, Gruevski said, pointing out that the country has been the organization's partner in numerous missions.
- Our main objective is for (the country) to become a full-fledged NATO member and we shall keep working to that effect, the PM said. lk/fd/15:48
