Bratislava, July 15 (TASR) - President Peter Pellegrini has dismissed two members of the Judicial Council, Lucia Berdisova and Tomas Gabris, appointed by his predecessor Zuzana Caputova.
Following his meeting with Judicial Council chair Marcela Kosova on Monday, Pellegrini announced that he will appoint three new members on Tuesday (July 16), specifying no names. He only said that the third member will be a replacement for a Judicial Council member who has given up the post.
Pellegrini said that all the new members will come from the barrister profession. "I can assure you in advance that all three future members of the Judicial Council will come from a lawyer's background, from real law practice, so that they will be people who are in real touch with defending their clients on a daily basis, but at the same time people from the bar association," he said.
