At the moment I was chosen as a Special Public Prosecutor by a consensus of all parties I promised myself and the citizens that I will perform this duty as a Special Public Prosecutor in the interest of the rule of law and the fight against the crime and corruption in the Republic of North Macedonia. I took this position in extremely difficult circumstances and I was very aware of the task I was given” said Janeva.
