This association, through a media report, has said that the focus of the discussion has been the proposal given to the cofficients for the prosecutorial system, which the association considers to be in full opposition to the Constitution and Law for the State Prosecutor.
This classification of salary levels is contrary to the constitutional principle of the equality of powers, right, which the Constitution of Kosovo is explicitly guaranteeing. According to this proposal, it turns out that state prosecutors' salaries are down almost 100% compared to the current, which is in conflict, in addition to others, with the State Prosecutor's Law, in which it is said explicitly that the state prosecutor's package can only be reduced by mass disciplinary, as well as in open opposition to the European Charter for the status of judges and prosecutors, says the association's response, Kohanet reports.
The Kosovo Prosecutors' Association finds in this case that this proposal, which if approved, leads to the lowering of the prosecutors' salaries, while the chief state prosecutor in the line of cofficients ranks 14th place, “is extremely deignive and derogatory to the prosecutorial system, at the time when as a state aims to meet the standards and criteria for EU membership and empowering the prosecutorial system in the fight against corruption, organised crime and other criminal phenomena<1>
Also, we clearly appreciate that this system proposed for prosecutors' salaries is decomposition for our work and degradation of the prosecutorial system in general”, the KPS states.
The Kosovo Prosecutors' Association has appealed to Kosovo's Parliamentary Speaker, relevant parliamentary commissions, Kosovo Assembly deputies and the prime minister, before the Bill on Salaries is adopted, to consider once again seriously the possibility of preserving the current wage system, otherwise we will be obliged to demand our legal and constitutional right in other forms”.
