The European MEPs will invite representatives of the coalition government, the Prosecutor General, as well as other institutions connected with the rule of law on the country. The representatives of the ruling coalition are expected to present their plans of reform in the judiciary, for accountability of the Prosecutor General, as well as legislative amendments that will help effectively combat corruption. The European Parliament will also focus on media freedom and preventing so-called SLAPP lawsuits (aimed at restricting civic activism) against journalists and civil society activists.
