In the article, the author deals with the institute of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, the reasons for its creation and the existing structure. It lists the various fundamental powers of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office and defines its competence under the Regulation. She points out the facts how the adoption of the Regulation on the European Public Prosecutor’s Office affected the national regulation in member states. Last but not least, the author points to the issue of exercising the powers of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office in the individual participating states that are signatories to the Regulation, but also points to the issue of exercising the powers of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office between non-participating states and third countries that are not even members of the European Union.
