Open letter to European Parliament

The organisers of protests attended by Slovak nationals from 12 European countries in the wake of the murders of journalist Jan Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kušnírová sent an open letter to the European Parliament. They ask the members of the Parliament to include three specific items in a resolution on Slovakia set to be approved in Strasbourg on April 19. First, they ask the European Parliament to initiate the creation of an international investigative team in cooperation with Europol in order to ensure a just and transparent investigation into the murders. The second request is to look into specific measures taken by the new Slovak Government that stem from the conclusions and recommendations of the European Parliament's two-day investigative mission to Slovakia. Finally, the signatories of the call ask the European Parliament to approve an external and independent investigation into the misuse of EU financial resources in Slovakia.
