Judgment Against Shukri Boya Pressed

At the Constitutional Court in Pristina today, it was meant to continue court hearings in the case of the former mayor of the Lipjan municipality, Shukri Buja, who is accused of misusing official office.

However, because the chairman of the court, Becir Kaluldra, was on an official trip abroad, today's hearing was postponed for June 25th, suggests llexo.com.

News of the session's postponement revealed court member Shadija Grguri, who announced to the parties the date for holding the next session.

The case is among the cases targeted for visa liberalisation.

Buya is being accused of misusing the official position in connection with a memorandum of understanding signed by the Lipjan Community with the company “New Co Fernikonil Complete LL. C.”

Along with the accused Buya of this process are Nebit Zeqiri, Halit Gashi, Fahri Retkoceri, Hasim Visegrad, Edmond Rexhepi, Dritton Avdiu, Burim Kodra, Bajram Rizani and Magbule Sadiku.

Three of those charged at the time they were charged were Lipjan municipal officials.

The Lipjan municipality at the time it was headed by Shukri Buya on March 21, 2008, had signed a memorandum with “NW Co Feronicl Complete LL. C.” renting this company a lab building in Lipjan.

According to the indictment, the memorandum was defined as “NW Co Feronicl Complete LL. C.” paid from one euro per month rent for the laboratory facility, while the company was given this laboratory for 10 years.

This is what the prosecution claims to have caused damage to the Lipjan municipality.

On April 28th, Bouja was acquitted of the charges she was charged with.
