The CEC submits candidate lists for verification, after tomorrow it is known who is not allowed to compete

Special paperwork institutions have been sent to 6 institutions to request confirmation of the candidate's adaptability with Article 29 of the General Election Law.

These papers have also been attached to the candidate list for MPs who have surrendered to the CEC.

Article 29, which speaks of adaptability or candidate capacity, shows who cannot be certified as candidate for MP.

CEC announcement:

• Germa réé at Article 29 stresses that the candidate cannot be a member of the Kosovo Intelligence Agency. Therefore, to ensure that candidates are not members of the Kosovo Intelligence Agency, we have asked this institution to submit the names of people from the candidate list if they are members of the Kosovo Agency for Intelligence.
• Germa écé at Article 29 stresses that the candidate cannot be a person who is: c) a member of the Kosovo Police. Therefore, to ensure that the candidates are not members of the Kosovo Police have asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send us the names of people from the candidate list if they are members of the Kosovo Police.
• Germs '%b and ikk at Article 29 stress that the candidate cannot be a person who is: b) a member of the Kosovo Security Force; and k) a member of the armed forces of any state. Therefore, to ensure that candidates meet this criterion, we have asked the Defence Ministry to send us the names of people from the candidate list if they are members of the Kosovo Armed Forces.
• Germa égé at Article 29 points out that the candidate cannot be a person who is: g) diplomatic representative. Therefore, to ensure that candidates are not diplomatic representatives, we have asked the Foreign Ministry to send us the names of people from the candidate list if they are diplomatic representatives.

Therefore, we have asked the Kosovo Judiciary Council to send us the names of people from the candidate list if they are judges; if they are subject to the court ruling with which the right to be a candidate has been denied; and if they have been convicted of criminal acts with a final court ruling in the last three (3) years;
• Germat éoé, ér , and ésé at Article 29 stress that the candidate cannot be a person who, by the court ruling, including PZAP's decision has been denied the right to be a candidate; r) has failed to pay the fine imposed by PZAP; and s) has failed to uphold any PZAP orders. Therefore, we have asked the Electoral Panel for Anxiety and Parastance to send us the names of people from the candidate list if they are subject to the PZAP decision to withdraw the right to be a candidate; if they have failed to pay the fine imposed by PZAP; and if they have failed to abide by any PZAP order.

In the spirit of constitutional and legal obligations for interilateral co-operation, we have asked these institutions for the shortest possible term, but not later than January 20, 2021, to answer our calls for verification.
