Among the expected changes are limiting the powers of the caretaker governments, limiting the circle of people the president can choose from when appointing a caretaker cabinet, creating an opportunity for citizens with double citizenship  to be elected for MPs and ministers, reducing the mandate of the Prosecutor General from 7 to 5 years.
