Crenare Sogojevo-Dermaku elected commissioner for Information and Private

Krenare Sogojevo-Dermaku has been elected commissioner of the Agency for Information and Privateness, receiving the necessary votes in the Kosovo Assembly.

Sogojevo-Dermaku received 65 votes from 72 MPs present in the session.

The position and opposition have again crashed at today's plenary session for the selection of the Agency for Information and Private commission.

Opposition MPs have called for the return of the process to zero point, but this was rejected by the Vetevendosje Movement, which said the opposition's “zhurma” for this process is meaningless. Meanwhile, at the moment of the voting process, none of the opposition parties -- PDK, LDK and AAK -- participated.

The task of the head of the Vetevendosje Movement Parliamentary Group, Mimoza Kusari-Lila, referring to opposition statements, expressed regret that the same have remained as decorous, but in the past they too have been as decorous and overvoted on commissions.

All this noise and all this persistence, I understand civil society has its own activity, but you as a political group that you've been in government and you know how to function position-oise. There are also statements that opposition parties that we on the commissions are just decorations. I'm sorry you've had this day, but we've always been just decorating, voting and voting in commissions. The same has happened at the position of officials who have been voted and passed by your vote”, Kusari-Lila said.

Kusari-Lila's statements have been responded to by deputy The PDK, Elmi Recica, who said such voting practices were never in the preliminary legislatures.

“There has been no elections just on February 14th of this year, given that the PDK with coalition partners has happened to have had 5 members on that commission, but it never happened to create an interview panel that was to be all MPs from parties in office... I know your leader has been declared many times that he will make the third republic, perhaps these are the first attempts to break the rules that were created earlier. I'm sure there are deputies here who have been part of the opposition, but you lady manager of the chief's duty almost all the time you've been in position”, Recica said.

While LDK MP Hykmete Bajrami said the candidate backed by the Vetevendosje Movement has three different CVs and there are no documents proving the experience of work until she said the process was not done with the supervision of the British.

This process is not done with the supervision of the British, this fourth attempt is without their supervision. It's just the recruiting of the Vetevendosje Movement and others. The three candidates who came to the Assembly today have been part of past competitions. It is important that the most popular candidate by MPs three times has not been able to come to the Assembly”, Bajrami said.

Critically addressing this process was Alliance for the Future of Kosovo deputy Pal Lekaj.

“This practice is the exchange of previous practices of participation in the selection panels aimed at selecting the candidate, which is preferred and supported by the Vetevendosje Movement”, Lekaj said.
