5 years was the deadline of this institution, to verify about 800 prosecutors and judges, but the time for many reasons does not seem to be enough. The majority made this proposal at the meeting of the SP leadership a few days ago, while there is still no reaction from the opposition. Consensus must be found in the Assembly to decide on the postponement, and the majority with the opposition already in parliament does not have all the votes it needs, 77 out of 94 votes required.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Rama from last week's session where the political program was approved and voted, said that the hand for the opposition will be extended, but added that if there is no cooperation, for reforms such as electoral or constitutional, cooperation will be with the people.
