In Focus: Global cooperation

In March, Eurojust convened Europe’s top prosecutors in The Hague for the 20th Consultative Forum. Prosecutors General and Directors of Public Prosecutions from across the EU met to address shared challenges in an increasingly complex criminal landscape – from organised crime networks to emerging hybrid threats. The Consultative Forum remains a key platform for aligning priorities and strengthening day-to-day judicial cooperation across borders.

Central to discussions was Eurojust’s Vision 2035, which will shape its strategic direction for the next decade, alongside reflections on its legal framework following the first evaluation of the Eurojust Regulation. With national prosecution services closely involved, the Consultative Forum gives Europe’s prosecutors a direct role in shaping how Eurojust evolves – reinforcing cross-border investigations, boosting international cooperation and ensuring that Eurojust stays responsive to rapidly changing security threats.
