At the same time, the existing system has effectively equated military ranks with civil ranks, which, according to the State National Security Committee (GKNB), is incorrect and violates the boundaries between military and civil service.The GKNB insists that the assignment of military ranks to prosecutors is inappropriate and distorts the meaning of military service.
According to the proposed draft, the procedure for assigning special civil ranks and military ranks for prosecutors will be determined by the Attorney General.
The following ranks and civil positions are planned to be introduced:
- Attorney General - State Advisor of Justice 1st Class (instead of Justice Colonel General);
