The outcomes and suggested recommendations from the 7th EMJNet meeting focusing on the topic of conflict of jurisdictions and Joint Investigations Teams were shared for the CrimEx representatives’ consideration and discussion. The CrimEx members exchanged on the challenges and best practices related to these topics and prepared consolidated recommendations for endorsement to the Prosecutor Generals Forum, planned for end of June. Participants took note of the project results in 2025 and planned activities in 2026 and further discussed the preparations and the agenda for the PG Forum. 

In the margins of the main discussions, three bilateral meetings took place between the delegations.

On the afternoon of the second day, the representatives of South Partner Countries took part in a study-visit to the Swedish Prosecution Authority’s Headquarters.
