Prosecutor Kocevski presented the PPO's activities and priorities during his six-year term, the Office said in a press release.

Interlocutors also discussed the effects of the latest Criminal Code amendments, which have resulted in the expiration of the statute of limitations in multiple cases, reads the press release.
