Cause of Serbian List MP's Lack of Bill on Special Chambers

Thus, this bill has gone to the session for discussion in principle without the commission's vote, since the opposition strongly opposed, calling it a bill protecting crime and damages that have been caused to the country with the privatisation process.

Five votes were against, four votes for and one abstention. It was the Serbian List MP's abstention and the absence of Deputy Bilall Sheriff Initiative at the time of the vote that prompted the bill not to pass.

Commission for Legissation Chairman Albulen Haxhiu called this bill unacceptable, saying it is still not clear what the EULEX mission's mandate will be in the Special Chamber within the Supreme Court.

For Vetevendosje this Bill is unacceptable both in the procedural aspect and in the container. The first is what now changes that only one judge has to deal with a subject that has to deal with any dispute in terms of privatisation, prior to have been colleges, and for me this is quite problematic because let alone areas of corruption, because much easier it is to intervene in just one judge than in a college of three judges, Haxhiu said.

LDK MP Arben Gashi has presented two main problems in this bill.

The first <x0 element is changing decision-making, we have a system of college or collective decision making, transition to individual decision making, individual judgment, so the judge decides for the subject himself, there is no college decision, you know that the concept of college decisions when invented in the genes, is invented as the most difficult degree of decision making... The second problem has to do with durability, we've designed this concept and implemented how many years, so durability is a problem, because when we say what degree of judgment we have, we say three, Court of fact, Court of Appeals, Supreme Court, and now when we say on privatisation issues how many degree of judgment we have, we say two, and where are those degrees of judgment, in the Supreme Court, at a level of”, Gashi stressed.

While PSD member Frasher Krasniqi has called the privatisation process one of the most harmful processes in terms of Kosovo's economic and industrial collapse.

“Privatisation couldn't develop as it developed in a corrupt and misused way without having the Special Chamber under control. The problem for me with creating this room is that I don't know why we're creating mechanisms and we're adopting laws “dock” showing that we don't have any strategies as a state for and after a unified justice system that functions with long-term strategy”, Krasniqi said.

According to him, the fact that the Special Chamber is introduced under the Supreme Court and has the same chairman denies the right of the appeals parties.

The position called for the adoption of this bill, saying someone should solve over 20 thousand content related to the AKP.

MP PDK, Hajdar Beqa, said the parties are protected by this bill until it has criticised its opposition colleagues for approaching the issue.

My “I am surprised by the opposition's attitude that has tired us of the past by saying EULEX doesn't have to continue the mandate, it takes their judges to be finished, and that we know that on June 14th of last month it has ended its mandate. EULEX and we must complete and take as progress of our institutions that are taking over their duties and carrying out their commitments. I think we can stop in principle, there are technical problems, there may be technical problems, and that's the second reading, and between two readings we can make the contribution”, Beqa stressed.

Kosovo Social Democrat Initiative MP Bilall the Sheriff called this bill necessary. Until for the analysis of the privatisation process, he said he could call an extraordinary session to discuss, but not review the bill.

There's something that's improved, but this law is necessary, I think it's necessary if we want those 17 thousand and so many materials that are waiting to be opened. How long it's going to take to solve these, I don't know, maybe after two three years we can come in that we haven't been right, it hasn't been enough to give them all the cases and subjects they're waiting for. So, let's get to the session, each party to vote according to its belief”, the Sheriff said.

While AAK deputy Shumbin Demalijaj has said the bill and the AKP are divided.

I think this bill that we have in front of us and the AKP is split. We are deciding on the issue of regulating the case of a court that will regulate the controversial subjects the commission chairman says are over 21,000. We're trying to give ourselves space to say that this doesn't regulate that case. It's not a question of good or bad privatisation processes, there are families that were shot after 45 by the communist regime, taken away property from the former communist Yugoslavia, and that family no longer has any documentation because the state has taken away its violent property, and they expect to solve this problem today. It's no problem with privatisation, but it's the owner of the property he paid with blood of”, he said.

This bill was under discussion at the extraordinary plenary session, but with agreement, parliamentary groups decided to have the Commission for Legislation under way. While, after reviewing the Commission, the bill will be released at the plenary hearing on July 9th.
