and ensure proclaimed equal suffrage and make
statistics on the number of citizens deleted from the
voter list on the basis of address inactivation
available and accessible to the units of local selfgovernment.
#4 Review and amend the legal framework to
prevent the misuse of public resources, including
pressure on public institution employees and
including regulations to prevent the abuse of office,
with a view to providing equal opportunities for all
participants in the election and ensuring separation
of state and partisan interests. Offenses against the
law should be regulated in such a way that penalties
are proportionate to the effect of deterrence from
repeating the offense.

5 Introducing General Instruction governing the
actions in certain, special types of cases (pursuant to
Article 25, paragraph 2 of the Law on Public
Prosecution) by the National Public Prosecutor at
the proposal of the National Public Prosecutor’s
Office professional board. The General Instruction
mechanism could be a way to regulate a specific and
efficient manner of public prosecutors’ actions on
criminal charges filed on grounds of suspicion that
any of the criminal offenses referred to in the
Chapter of the 15 Criminal Code (Criminal Offenses
Against Electoral Rights) have been committed. The
binding instructions could provide for urgent
treatment of these criminal charges and periodic
information to the public about the actions taken,
which would contribute to the public gaining trust
in the work of public prosecutors in these cases. In
addition, it could be provided that the National
Public Prosecutor’s Office acts on complaints
against decisions to dismiss criminal charges in their
professional board capacity. Decisions should be
taken without delay within a period shorter than
legally required (15 days).
