Vetting of judges: Where we stand and how much longer it will take?

During the program Punctul pe Azi on TVR Moldova, Andrei Bivol, President, and Marcel van de Wetering, Vice President of the Judicial Vetting Commission, discussed the progress of the external evaluation process of judges.

The discussion covered the statistical results of the evaluation, the side effects of the reform, as well as the pace of the process, the pass rate, and the mechanisms for challenging decisions.

The conversation highlighted the progress achieved so far, as well as the challenges that remain.

An essential point emphasized was that the reform is closely linked to the national objectives regarding accession to the European Union and its conditionalities, and that the progress achieved directly influences the financial and political support granted to the Republic of Moldova.
