Chief Prosecutor Olsian Çela presented the General Prosecutor's Office report for 2024 to the High Prosecutorial Council.

The report presented the activity of first-instance prosecutors' offices with general jurisdiction, while Çela emphasized the lack of a sufficient number of prosecutors.

"In 2024, the actual number of prosecutors in the general jurisdiction prosecutor's offices was 209. This indicator highlights the actual structure with 65% of prosecutors compared to the organic number of 321 prosecutors and the lack of 35% of the number of prosecutors. In this regard, the situation of the actual number of prosecutors according to the levels of prosecutor's offices was: 185 prosecutors in the prosecutor's offices at the courts of first instance, or 98 prosecutors less compared to the organic number (65% of the organic structure); 11 prosecutors in the prosecutor's office at the Court of Appeal of General Jurisdiction or 9 prosecutors less compared to the organic number (55% of the organic structure) and 11 prosecutors and 2 assistant magistrates in the General Prosecutor's Office or 7 prosecutors less than the organic number (61% of the organic structure)", said Çela.

He also noted that compared to 2023, there has been a decrease in the number of cases sent to court, but an increase in defendants who have been convicted.

"9030 cases have been sent to court with charges against 10759 defendants. Compared to 2023, this results in a decrease of 6.44% in the number of cases sent to court and 5.63% in the number of defendants sent to court.

"Regarding court decisions, statistical data shows that in 2024, 10,001 defendants were convicted, which compared to 2023 represents a 37.87% increase in the number of convicted defendants, and for 265 defendants, a decision was issued to declare them not guilty," he said, referring to the report.

In order to maintain the level of effectiveness in the administrative and functional activity of the prosecution offices, guarantee impartiality and balanced distribution of the workload, with orders no. 18, dated 30.01.2024 and no. 19, dated 30.01.2024, of the Prosecutor General, the organic structures of the prosecution offices at the courts of first instance of general jurisdiction, appellate courts of general jurisdiction and the General Prosecutor's Office have been determined.
