schema:articleBody	Slovenia's justice minister Lilijana Kozlovic announced her resignation Thursday over the government's refusal thus far to appoint two prosecutors to the European Union's new anti-corruption body. The EU's Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) will be launched in June to tackle suspected fraud involving the bloc's budget, with the participation of 22 member states. Of those 22, only Slovenia and Finland have not yet appointed their representatives. The government announced on Thursday it would look for two new candidates after rejecting the two prosecutors already proposed, both of whom Kozlovic had already approved for the job. The two had in the past investigated graft allegations linked to conservative premier Janez Jansa, whose country takes over the EU's rotating presidency from July. On Wednesday, Slovenia's top prosecutor Drago Sketa said any move to nominate other candidates would be an "illegal decision" violating the constitution and undermining the "independence and autonomy" of the prosecutors' service. In a statement sent to AFP Thursday, Kozlovic, a member of the junior coalition Modern Center Party (SMC), also argued that the government's decision to open a bid for two new candidates was "legally unfounded". The EPPO's chief, Laura Kovesi, also criticised what she said was "the manifest lack of sincere cooperation of the Slovenian authorities". Their behaviour "seriously undermines" confidence in the "management and control systems for EU funds in Slovenia", she said in a statement. The government draft legislation setting the rules for appointing the EU delegated prosecutors was amended last spring to require a higher level of foreign languages knowledge. That followed Jansa's criticism of the two candidates on just that point. bk/jj
