The Slovak daily Pravda wrote that the specialised institutions would, according to Lipšic, start working in July rather than May, as originally planned, because there is too little time for the National Security Office to screen all the court's potential judges.

Lipšic also thinks delays may arise because members of parliament must elect the special prosecutors.
