It highlights significant salary disparities between judges and other public officials, which could affect the constitutional balance of powers. The CSM emphasizes that adequate salaries for judges and prosecutors are essential for judicial independence and warns against legislative changes that could further diminish their status. The Council plans to use all institutional means to protect the constitutional status of the judiciary.
