“The president believes that the new prosecutor general must be appointed this year,” said Ulbinaitė.
According to her, talks are ongoing with potential candidates, but a concrete name and candidacies were not discussed during Tuesday’s meeting.
“A decision will be made in the nearest future,” said Ulbinaitė.
After the term of previous Prosecutor General Darius Valys expired last June, Grybauskaitė has nominated two candidates for the post.
