The act in question was proclaimed Friday by the head of the court, Fatime Drmaku, reports the “Justice Trust”.

Under the trial, in addition to the accused prison sentence Krasniqi is obliged to compensate for Pristina's municipality in the amount of 24 thousand and 900 euros, while accused Rama-Gashi in the amount of 13 thousand and 250 euros.

In addition, the court pronounced them complete punishment, forbidding them public and state functions for the next three years.

In this case, the accused have also been Armend Gashi, Arjeta Koraqi and Dafina Qela, but the prosecution at the session held on March 12th, 2024, has given up prosecution, arguing that it has not been proven that the same acts were carried out in burden.

Otherwise, at the May 31st 2023 session, the Constitutional Court in Pristina had approved the proposal of defendant Zoja Krasniqi's defender, attorney Jeton Macedonia, to dismiss criminal proceedings for criminal work “conflicted interest” after reaching the absolute prescription of prosecution.

Otherwise, with the indictment set up on January 30th 2018 by Pristina Constitutional Prosecutor Zoja Krasniqi was accused of taking part in the quality of the official person at the Directorate for Culture, Youth and Sports in the Pristina municipality, examining the applications for subsidies, where her family had participated, and in projects they were engaged, there had been direct interests. For this, he was charged with “Conflicted interest”.

The Actakuza says Krasniqi had compiled extinguishing files and aided her family members Armend Gashi, Albula Rama and Valon Bllac, enabling them to benefit 24 thousand and 900 euros on behalf of projects from subsidies. It is said that as a member of the commission for the assessment of traditional tenders in chess and during the tenders' proclamation, her brother, Armend Gashi, had benefited materially from 4 thousand euros. In turn, Albulen Rama-Gashi, Dafina Qela, Arjeta Koraqi, Armend Gashi and Valon Blaku are charged with benefiting projects from subsidies, exploiting the position of their family, now accused Zoja Krasniqi.
