He is attending a conference opening the project entitled “Promoting the exchange of good practices in detecting, investigating and punishing acts of corruption in the EU”, organised in Bucharest by the National Anticorruption Directorate.

Attending the meeting are representatives of anti-corruption institutions from the EU member states. The project is meant to boost dialogue between investigators, prosecutors and judges in the EU member states.
