Katica Janeva

Katica Janeva on Wednesday submitted a list of 14 deputy prosecutors to the National Prosecutors Council, which should soon approve her selection, allowing them to start working as soon as possible.

Approval is expected to be a formality as the recently adopted Law on Special Prosecution gives Janeva the right to choose her deputies and assistants.

After marathon talks, Macedonia's political parties have agreed on the appointment of a special prosecutor who will be tasked with investigating the illegal surveillance claims that have rocked the government.

"A deal was reached. We have a prosecutor," Antonio Milososki, from the negotiating team of the ruling VMRO DPMNE party, tweeted on Tuesday morning.
