Fišer was asked whether he would resign if the Prosecution Council were to find that he made a mistake. He responded by saying that he sees no reason to resign at the moment. He is confident that the Council will not find any mistakes because he is certain there were none.

He is adamant that he acted legally when he asked then-Justice Minister Aleš Zalar to appoint Boštjan Škrlec director general of the Prosecutor General's Office back in February 2012. Škrlec said he just wanted the Prosecutor General's Office to get a Prosecutor General as soon as possible. The Commission for the Prevention of Corruption maintains that such behaviour constitutes corruption.

Fišer said the actions of the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption were unreasonable and arbitrary. He added that there was a political campaign against him and the State Prosecutor General's Office. He complained that politicians had done nothing to change that, allowing the anti-graft watchdog to try to discredit him.

Head of the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption Boris Štefanec firmly rejected Fišer’s claims that this was a politically motivated attempt to force him to resign: “On behalf of the Commission and its members, I can assure you that the Commission is beholden solely to the Constitution and the country’s laws.”
