IV.15 How many courses does a public prosecutor have to attend annually?

Up to now the Department of Education within the Prosecutor General’s Office was in charge to improve the knowledge of prosecutors; that Department arranged special short courses or seminars. The pros­ecutors were obliged to attend them. The Regional prosecution Offices organized similar courses as well. Those courses focused on the application problems in the field of the criminal law, legal co-operation with foreign countries, supervision over the legality of decision taken by the public administration bodies as well as to the information about the new laws and amendments, European law etc. Every prosecutor attended one or two two- or three-day courses per year.
