16/09/2015 (Agence Europe) - EU hails agreement on appointment of Special Prosecutor. On Tuesday 15 September, the European Union hailed the agreement between the Macedonian political parties on the appointment of a Special Prosecutor. Katica Janeva was appointed to this post. “We welcome the agreement on the appointment. This is an important part of the political agreement facilitated by European Commissioner for Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn and different MEPs. We now look forward to the adoption of the law on this”, said Hahn's spokesperson, Maja Kocijancic, who said she hoped the prosecutor would receive “all the support needed for the important work to be done” (in other words, investigating the phone-tapping affair). Hahn will visit the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 September, where a high level dialogue will be held between the EU and FYROM. It is expected that this will be the opportunity to assess the results achieved as part of the June-July political agreement. (CG)
