Views on the reform of the Criminal Procedure Code
He believes that the criminal procedure should introduce the institution of counter-accusation, the Criminal Procedure Code should provide norms allowing the announcement of a search for witnesses and victims if their whereabouts are unknown, that the procedure for controlling the commission of a crime should be enshrined in the Criminal Procedure Code instead of the current regulation in by-laws operating under secrecy classification. In his opinion, the Criminal Procedure Code should provide the right of the defense party to appeal the ruling of the investigating judge on the conduct of a special pre-trial investigation.
