Liaison Prosecutors

Liaison Prosecutors come from countries outside the EU and are posted at Eurojust on the basis of an agreement on cooperation with their country. They work side by side with their colleagues from the Member States to provide support in cross-border investigations involving their country. In the interest of facilitating judicial cooperation between Eurojust and the third country, Liaison Prosecutors have access to Eurojust’s operational tools and facilities, including the use of office space and secure telecommunications services.

The mandate and duration of each posting are determined by the national authorities of the third countries. Twelve third countries have seconded Liaison Prosecutors to Eurojust: Albania, Georgia, Iceland, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.

Liaison Prosecutors and their Assistants may also participate in operational meetings with the consent of the National Members concerned and strategic meetings, at the invitation of the President of Eurojust. National Members, their Deputies and Assistants, and Eurojust staff may also attend meetings organised by the Liaison Prosecutors.
