Summary/Abstract: The subject of this article is the analysis of the prosecutor’s liability from the point of view of accountability, based on the criteria of effectiveness and efficiency. There is no doubt that the individual accountability of the public prosecutor is strongly determined by the organizational framework of the prosecutor’s office and the level of the granted independence of the prosecutor. In order to implement the postulated changes leading to an increase in the efficiency of the functioning of the prosecutor’s office, it is necessary to develop indicators for periodic evaluation of the prosecutor’s work. Only the adoption of individual evaluation criteria for each prosecutor will ensure the transparency of the institution’s work, strengthen the independence of prosecutors (by introducing clear and precise criteria for professional promotion) and contribute to increasing public confidence in the public prosecutor’s office.
