Summary/Abstract: More than five years ago judicial and prosecutorial councils were established in the Western Balkans countries. Newly established institutions took over jurisdiction related to the election, promotion and dismissal of public prosecutors in line with the international standards of judicial independence. It is necessary to assess whether the prosecutorial councils fulfilled professional public expectations. In the paper author analyzed European standards and good practices of prosecutorial councils’ regulations, as well as comparative law models in Western Balkans countries and their compliance with standards.
