Hasani: President is violating primary constitutional post by not specifying chief state prosecutor

Enver Hasani, former head of the Constitutional Court, has criticised the president of the Republic of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, for not signing the decision to appoint the chief state prosecutor during an interview on the “-Debat Plus” show at RTV Duguagjini.

Hasan has estimated that Osmani's reasoning was “scandalous” and that as head of state, she should take care of the normal functioning of state institutions, ensuring that chief prosecutor's task manager is appointed by internal regulatory mechanisms.

According to international law professor Osmani has no right to jeopardise the normal functioning of institutions and must say yes or no, not cut sides.

The public investigation why he didn't sign it is scandalous, unacceptable... president of the Republic or chief of state who cares for the normal functioning of state institutions, one of them is the head prosecutor of state, can't... it doesn't guarantee normal functioning because the task leader is not guaranteed by the president. It's set by internal regulatory mechanisms. It has no right to ever jeopardise the normal functioning of institutions. It has to mean yes-no, it can't say I'm cutting sides... what was the absurd, scandalous reasoning?

Asked whether the president is violating human rights, he said he was making “the most brutal way possible.

It was a brutal violation of the human rights of those who have competed, all... in the most brutal way possible and are violating primary constitutional function, normal functioning of state institutions”.

It is still not known when Kosovo will have the chief state prosecutor until more than 10 months have passed that this position is led by a task leader.
