Kurt's 2021 contrasting party has also diminished its promise of the Veting process.
Of the main promises of Albin Kurt's Vetevendosje Movement through 2017 and 2019 had been the adoption and implementation of the Anti-Mafia and Veting Law. In the 2017 programme, they had pledged that during the four-year rule, they would implement the promises listed.
“The establishment of the Special Anti-Mafia Unit in the Prosecutorial, reporting directly to the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo, and the establishment of the Special Chamber Anti-Mafia at the Courts of the Republic of Kosovo. Ensuring the nearby defence for officials of these” are written in the party's 2017 programme, which runs Albin Kurti.

In 2019, in the field of justice and fighting organised crime and corruption, Vetevendosje had expanded such a promise. Besides Anti-Mafia law, they had also promised a detailed Veting that would include judges, prosecutors, senior Police Directors and the Kosovar Intelligence Agency
The rule of law in the fight against organised crime the state of Kosovo has remained weak because it was captured. This must be over. The justice and security systems are fundamental. We will make sure that our parliamentary majority ideas and implements the overall veting process for the prosecution, courts, senior police leaders and the Kosovo Intelligence Agency. We have planned to provide expertise with high integrity, non-blocking the system from within and budgeting. To create confidence and confidence that justice will be done, we plan on creating a permanent self-simaning mechanism. So we make sure that the integrity of the prosecutorial and judicial system is protected despite changing governing conjuctures. This process will be accompanied by the drafting and implementation of the Antimaphia Law, where the burden of proof of unwarranted wealth falls on the official of the investigated person. We will establish institutions for the record and archive of war crimes. Independent justice system will create institutional conditions for investigating and judging Serbia's crimes in Kosovo”, the 2019 Programme says.
However, what has happened is not known that Albin Kurti currently has no priority of the Anti-Mafia Law in his party's programme, which he intends to implement if he wins the February 14th elections and will lead the executive.
Even the Veting case in the 2021 promises has been shrinking, and it is said to be only for judges and prosecutors, not including senior police leaders and the Kosovar Intelligence Agency.
The programme for 2021 introduced by Kurti the Anti-Mafia Law itself does not work until Veting is promised, which will include only the Judiciary and Prosecutorial Council, reports Express.
“The integral and necessary part of the justice system is the independent, impartial, integrity-intensive judiciary. To achieve this, the highest hierarchical levels of the justice system, and not only, will be subject to the property process. This process aims to achieve judicial and prosecutorial integrity and the citizens' trust in the institutions of justice will be restored. Given the importance of the council, the property process will be launched by the Judicial and Prosecutorial Council”, the current programme of Kurti's party says.
For changing the programme in the field of justice and Veting, Kurt's party has also been criticised by Arton Demhaje part of the non-governmental organisation “Arise”.
Demhaya in a debate at RTV Dukagjini has said that VV and Kurti have consistently talked about confiscating illegal property, but there is no such thing in the programme.
According to member of the organization Arise, Vetevendosje has also softened its language in terms of Veting.
“In the matter of Justice, you've been talking a lot for a long time as Vetevendosje for the law on confiscating illegal property. I've heard Mr. Kurt's talking, but there's nowhere on the program. Even Veting has softened, you have said it only in the highest hierarchy of the judiciary, not in all of the” system, Demhaja said.
