Six years of court battle for Thaci's luxury bills as prime minister

Other bills of government cabinet spending at the time are expected to be published by the Balkan network of investigative journalism, BIRN.

But to win this battle, BIRN took six years.

Arber Kadriu, from the legal office of this network, says they had applied since 2012 for access to lunch and official dinner bills.

The court battles have continued until this case passed to the master.

According to him, all this effort has been intended to set the precedent that will serve journalists and citizens, KTV reports.

He has indicated that they are also waiting to receive the bills of the costs of the current prime minister, Ramush Haradinaj.

The media rights lawyer, the Kusari butterfly, has called this a victory for journalism.

She said this case should serve as an example and encourage public journalists to take advantage of access to official documents.

Reporter Saranda Ramaj says the important thing is that the court has come to the side of journalists.

She hopes this case will serve to be consistent in decisions.

She has shown her experience with requests for access to official documents, emphasising on her request last year for access to Prime Minister Haradinaj's groom's documentation, which will manage with health insurance funds but that the institution had decided to classify as personal data.

The government spokeswoman, Donjet Gashi, told her. KTV that 99 percent of the questions addressed at the prime minister's office are answered by the Government.

According to her, out of 33 access requirements, 31 have received full answers, one request is under consideration and one has received partial answers.
