Today, representatives of the NGOs elected a new composition of the Public Integrity Council, which will help the renewed High Qualification Commission to form a decent judiciary. The third member of the PIC includes specialists of various profiles: lawyers, journalists, human rights defenders and other representatives of NGOs, who have been promoting justice and anti-corruption reforms for years. This is a strong and capable composition, which is crucial in the conditions when the HQCJ has to complete the qualification assessment of almost two thousand judges and select approximately 700 judges for vacant positions in the appellate courts.
