The opinion points out that a key role in the preparation of preliminary motions to hold persons accountable before the Tribunal of State is played by the Constitutional Accountability Committee acting in corpore. The Commission has an exclusive power to take substantive decisions concerning the conduct of proceedings relating, e.g., to an assessment of the validity of the submitted motions as to evidence. The tasks of presidium and chairperson of the Committee are, in principle, limited to organizational and technical issues, such as planning a timetable of committee meetings and proposing the agenda of the debate (presidium) and representing the Committee in external events, as well as hearing witnesses and experts (chairperson). The performance of the presidium or chairperson is reviewed by the Committee. In the event of a negative assessment of the work of these authorities, the Committee has the power to make appropriate changes in membership of the presidium, including changing its chairperson.
