Laura Codruta Kovesi said on Thursday that the vote given to her by the ambassadors of the member states of the European Union for the position of European Chief Prosecutor represents an acknowledgement of the work carried out by the entire justice system in Romania.
She added that she does not have any information about the vote given by Romania's representative, stating that she did not discuss the matter with the prime minister, the president or the ambassador of Romania to the EU.
"Regarding the accusations against me, they have been cleared, I have definitive decisions of the High Court of Cassation and Justice both in terms of certain disciplinary actions that have been formulated, as well as the criminal case. (...) I have not discussed either with the president, or with the prime minister, or with the Romanian ambassador on the votes and on the mandates that are given for the COREPER [Committee of Permanent Representatives of the governments of the Member States near the European Union] meetings.
