On 9-11 December, 2015 a study visit of the leadership and the representatives of the public prosecution service (PPS) of the Republic of Moldova to Lisbon, Portugal was organised within the Council of Europe project “Support to Criminal Justice Reforms in the Republic of Moldova”, funded by the Government of Denmark. In view of the reform process of the PPS in Moldova the visit aimed at familiarising the representatives of the Moldovan public prosecution service with the functioning of the PPS in Portugal. The visit was organised in close cooperation with the Centre for Judicial Studies of Portugual (Portuguese School for Judges and Prosecutors). The programme of the visit provided for the meetings held with several Portuguese authorities, namely the High Council of the Judiciary, Office of the Prosecutor General (including the meeting with the Prosecutor General himslef and several structural units of the office), High Council of Prosecutors, Supreme Court of Portugal, Criminal Court of Lisbon. As a result, several aspects of the Portuguese judicial system, such as initial and continues training of prosecutors and their career development, narrow specialisation of prosecutors in certain areas, as well as competences and functioning of the special investigative unite of the Portuguese PPS, can be considered as a good experience in the course of the reform of the Moldovan public prosecution service.
