In this article the establishment and the operation of the centralized European prosecution authority is put in the political context of the revived integrative processes. Its mission is to investigate, prosecute, and bring to justice (before national courts of member states) perpetrators of crimes affecting the financial interests of the European Union. The complex sui generis institutional setting and the powers of the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO), that are essentially the product of the battle between contested agendas of supranationalism and intergovernmentalism, are analysed on the basis of legal texts, supplemented by general European studies literature. The aim is to determine, whether the new European prosecution authority is rightly considered to be a milestone in the process of centralization in the area of freedom, security and justice. The article concludes that there is room for the EPPO to evolve and adapt to changing political circumstances and emerging challenges in the realm of transnational criminal activities. Current institutional setup of the EPPO can undergo further expansion and adjustments so as to encompass additional “particularly serious crimes with a cross-border dimension”. Nevertheless, the issues of legitimacy over the additional conferral of powers to act in criminal matters to an EU body, should not be disregarded or overlooked.
