Improved controls and protection of civil society are required. The report considers the weakening of the rule of law as a key finding, as the abolition of the Special Prosecutor\u2019s Office and the National Criminal Agency led to a dramatic drop in the number of indictments for serious economic crimes (in 2025, only two were filed, compared to the previous 120-150 per year).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The report also criticizes the hostile environment towards civil society and the media, as non-governmental organizations face administrative harassment, discredit campaigns, blocking of access to information, and investigative journalists report intimidation when verifying facts about the misuse of EU funds, for example for the construction of EU-funded pensions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The MP also mentioned the inefficient financing of Roma projects, when there were cases where community representatives were excluded from planning, and projects such as the \u201cRoma Media House\u201d did not meet the needs in the areas of housing, work or education.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u010cesk\u00fd europoslanec Tom\u00e1\u0161 Zdechovsk\u00fd odprezentoval z\u00e1vere\u010dn\u00fa spr\u00e1vu z kontrolnej misie na Slovensku.
