The Venice Commission delegation met with the Public Defender and representatives of the diplomatic corps on Monday 29 April 2024 and with representatives of civil society organisations, online media outlets and broadcasters today.

The opinion will be issued through the urgent procedure pursuant to Article 14a of the Venice Commission’s Rules of Procedure and published in the coming weeks, in order to make it possible for parliament to consider it prior to the adoption of the law”, - reads the statement of the Venice Commission.
