IV.1 Does the public prosecutor have tasks outside the field of criminal law?

Yes. The Attorney General and the Law Office of the Republic are the legal advisers of the Republic on all matters. This is expressly provided in the Constitution. The Law Office advises the President, the Council of Ministers, the Ministries and the Public Service on all legal matters which arise in the context of state activity. Furthermore, the Law Office represents the Republic in any civil or administrative proceedings in which the latter is a party.
