Parliamentary program
The goal of the program is to strengthen the capacity of the Parliament to meet its constitutional competencies, particularly control function.

The focus of the program is also on the role of the Parliament in the process of EU integration, functioning of its working bodies, as well as transparency and cooperation with civil society.
