OSCE Mission to Skopje condemns attempts to sell its Commentary to Law on Criminal Procedure

SKOPJE, 28 January 2019 – The OSCE Mission to Skopje condemns attempts to market and sell the OSCE-sponsored Commentary to the 2010 Law on Criminal Procedure.

The Commentary issued in December 2018 is a comprehensive legal resource aiming to enable the consistent application of the Law on Criminal Procedure. The publication was produced by the OSCE Mission jointly with a number of national legal experts.

"The publication sponsored by the Mission will be distributed free-of-charge to the members of the legal community in the country," said Clemens Koja, the Head of the OSCE Mission to Skopje. "The book, as well as other similar resources developed by the Mission, is intended to help them to contribute to strengthening the rule of law in the country," he added.

The Mission owns exclusive copyrights, titles and content related to the Commentary and strongly encourages the use of the official electronic version available at www.pf.ukim.edu.mk .

Hard copies of the publication will also be disseminated among legal practitioners in the coming days.
