European Union announces three open vacancies in Vetting Commission

In 2021, the government of the Republic of Moldova started the justice sector reform, aiming to ensure integrity and accountability of justice sector stakeholders and to increase society’s trust in the justice sector. As part of the justice sector reform, the government decided to conduct an extraordinary vetting exercise of judges and prosecutors, to improve the integrity in the justice sector.

This vetting process is a unique endeavour for the Moldovan society. It is a thorough and tough process that can happen only once in a good way. It asks a lot of society: there might be temporarily limited capacity in the justice sector, and it can have substantial consequences for personal careers. Yet it is also a historic process, that works towards the betterment of the Moldovan justice sector and will therefore have positive impact on Moldovan society in the end.

The Center for International Legal Cooperation (CILC) is assigned by the European Commission and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to facilitate the Prosecutors’ Vetting Commission (also known as “Commission 3”) and its Secretariat. CILC is continuing its effort to add to the team of professionals to staff this Secretariat.

This call for experts aims to create a shortlist of motivated and qualified people for the following positions:

Senior Legal Advisor of Prosecutors
Analyst of Prosecutors
Legal Analyst of Prosecutors
