Candidates for the position of judge of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) will be elected by the Judicial Council on September 18, the council has reported on its website.
There's a total of three candidates, namely Ondrej Laciak, Radoslav Prochazka and Daniela Jezova. The Judicial Council pointed to the long-standing problem of assembling this candidate list so that it would be subsequently approved by the government, which wasn't the case in June, for instance.
The term of office of incumbent Slovak judge of ECHR Alena Polackova is set to expire on December 28, 2024.
