I think that we need a closer cooperation to the Bar Association, it is an experience we had when we worked with the lawyers in legislative amendments. We offered to the lawyers to be involved in the selection of themes and issues to be discussed by the cooperation group with the court. We are ready to take more active steps in this direction; the bilateral cooperation, first of all, affects the quality of justice administration.”
