President Klaus Iohannis stated on Wednesday that the alignment of the justice laws and criminal legislation with the European standards is mandatory.
He underscored that "the isolation" and "division" of the magistrates' body doesn't lead to anything productive.
The head of state showed that his presence at the CSM sitting represents "an institutional encouragement," in the context in which the CSM plenary chooses its new leadership on Wednesday, namely the new president and vice-president. Moreover, Iohannis congratulated the current CSM leadership, who reached the end of tenure.
"It was a difficult year. I congratulate you all for the balance which you managed to maintain in the system," President Iohannis concluded.
