Laura Codruța Kovesi, the head of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO), received the Robert Blum Prize for Democracy on Tuesday, March 3, during a ceremony in Leipzig, Germany. The award comes with a financial component of EUR 25,000, which Kovesi will reportedly give to Ukraine’s war effort.
The Robert Blum Prize for Democracy was established to honor individuals who demonstrate remarkable civic courage and make a significant contribution to promoting democratic values and the rule of law in a European context often marked by political hesitation.
