The Constitutional Court unanimously rejected the request of Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev and did not waive the provision that the prosecutor be heard at least once every three months by the legal committee in parliament. The prerogative of the parliament to give recommendations on the Prosecutor General's reports was also not cancelled.
The decision of the Constitutional court concerns two texts from the National Assembly's Rules of Procedure, which were challenged by Geshev. According to the Prosecutor's Office, these powers of the Parliament unacceptably "extend" the control of the legislature over the judiciary as provided for in the Constitution.
