The CoE partners, pointing to previous achievements in this direction, reaffirmed their unconditional support in achieving more significant progress in the fight against corruption.

The parties emphasized the further support of the CE in the direction of the development of the institution of probation, in particular, the improvement of the legislation and the practical application of new alternative means of deterrence and punishment.

The Council of Europe has reaffirmed its willingness also to support the monitoring, practical implementation, and capacity building of policymakers and other sectoral professionals of the new criminal and criminal procedure codes.
