Kusari-Lila, who has been leading the Alternative party for three years, has been included in the list of 110 candidates for Vetvendosje Movement deputies for the 6 October elections.
In 2013, Mimoza Kusari-Lila had been part of the Privatisation Committee, which led the privatisation process of the Power Distribution and Supply Company (KEDS), which is run by Turkish company “Calik Holding”.
This committee had decided that four hydropower plants in Kosovo should be privatised in co-operation with KEDS.
The sale of four hydropower plants for the Energy Distributation Corporation (KEDS) in 2013 allegedly caused damage to the Republic of Kosovo. For this reason, the Kosovo Special Prosecutor, about two years ago, issued an offer for the start of investigations into Mimoza Kusari-Lila and four other former Kosovo Government ministers.
The inclusion of four hydropower plants in the tender package was kept secret, while ministers who have made key privatisation decisions have declared they have not been informed that the package has included the sale of hydropower plants.
Four hydropower plants have been sold along with KEDS -- theDicence hydropower plant, the Source, the Radovac and Lumbardhi plant. They have been granted concession by KEK with the aim of restoring them and increasing production capacities.
News of the investigation of five former Kosovo Government ministers, regarding the process of privatising KEDS, has confirmed it in 2018, and State Chief Prosecutor Alexander Lumez.
Several months ago, State Prosecutor's spokesman, Hekrem Lutfiu, had confirmed to the Iseder that Kusari-Lila continues to be under investigation into the case. He said they couldn't provide information so they wouldn't stop the investigation.
