You have a great responsibility and a big burden, because the society expects you to solve all the painful issues that aggravate our consciousness. You should make a great contribution to restoring justice. Confidence towards you is essential for having trust in the judiciary.

Thus, your work requires impartiality, professionalism, and most importantly, the conscience. Today I am awarding 4 prosecutors the Order of Honor as a mark of appreciation and stimulus for each prosecutor who is in the service of the country, "Salome Zurabishvili said.

I hope the agreement with the EU agency, "EuroJust", will help us in implementing it. I would like to greet the President of "EuroJust" Ladislav Hamran, who is with us now. We have an ambition that we can participate in various programs before joining the European Union, through sectoral cooperation we can reveal our capabilities better, strengthen our positions and promote the acceleration of the EU membership, " President Zurabishvili said.
