No visas for Kosovo without investigating these cases suspected of corruption

Fighting corruption cases is the chief question of the political class in Kosovo. The resolution of high profile cases of corruption and organised crime is a condition constantly mentioned by the European Union for visa liberalisation. Even after the demarcation vote with Montenegro, we have witnessed statements by EU officials that there is only one condition left to fight organised crime and corruption.

BIRN and Internews Kosova, in March 2018, have released a report titled corrupt liberalisation ) report on findings on validated cases of visa liberalisation.

According to this report, the process of identifying these most important cases resulted in the marking of 39 cases, primarily the criminal acts of the corruption chapter in Kosovo courts, which, with the decision of clear form, have been resolved only 8, the rest is in different phases of criminal procedure, reportedly in a report broadcasting it. Periscope.

This report highlights a most disturbing fact. Through Kosovo courts, there are differences of data concerning identified cases.

So, in the Kosovo Prosecutorial Council, there are these data, from these subjects:

8 With a Firm Decision

4 With First - Scale Decision

18 A Court Review

4 investigative proceedings

1-A suspension of the investigation

1- Pre-Procedures

3 - A End of Investigation

At the Kosovo Judiciary Council, we have these data:

6 With Procedures

5- With First Level Decision

19-in judicial examination

9-Progressing procedure

0 c. 0
