Saveski: The independence of the Prosecutor’s Office is guaranteed by the Constitution; there is nothing problematic about why Mickoski called me.

Attorney General Nenad Saveski announced today that he will maintain his policy of refraining from commenting on political declarations. Regarding a recent phone call from the Prime Minister, Saveski assessed that the interaction posed no issue and did not infringe upon the independence or autonomy of the Public Prosecution. Saveski reiterated his previously stated position on the matter, which has generated discussion among the public.

He also addressed the circumstances surrounding the Prime Minister’s call, noting that this communication preceded the Basic Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime and Corruption suspending its investigation into the “Mazut” case. The Attorney General emphasized that, even if the question of the Prime Minister’s official competence to contact the public prosecutor remains unclear, the right to initiate such contact exists. In his statement, Saveski confirmed that since the Prime Minister did call, the head of the government has exercised that right.

His remarks underscore the institutional separation while acknowledging the communication that took place. Throughout his address, Saveski maintained a measured tone, focusing on the operational boundaries of the Prosecutor’s Office. He stressed that while the public response has been significant, his professional stance remains consistent.

The statements clarify the boundaries between political discourse and the prosecutorial functions, reaffirming the structural independence of the office under his leadership.
