Discussion of amendments and addendum to the Criminal Procedure Code, developed by a group of deputies are in legislative plans. The authors propose to establish a one-year period during which the prosecutor or the head of the investigative body has the right to cancel the decision to terminate the criminal case. Currently, they can cancel an order issued by the investigator at any time. After one year, cancellation will be allowed only on the basis of a court decision. In addition, the lawmakers propose to supplement the Criminal Procedure Code with a norm enabling the resumption of proceedings on a previously discontinued criminal case only if the statute of limitations for bringing a person to criminal responsibility has not expired.

The profile committee supported the concept of the authors of the legislative initiative, believing that its adoption would ensure effective state, including judicial, protection of the constitutional rights of citizens from illegal and unjustified resumption of criminal prosecution.
