IPK investigating promotion competition for sergeant in Kosovo Police

He made these statements during his report to the Commission for Security and Defence Affairs for the annual labour report for 2023, where IPK was expected to form teams to investigate claims filed in public.

This Commission Chairman Beke Berisha has asked the IPK chief executive chief, Quprim Hodaj, about the Sergeant's promotion competition in the Kosovo Police, as he said there have been reactions to irregularities.

He has also questioned the investigation into state reserves.

There have been many reactions to the police promotion issue, have you taken steps to investigate how that process went, have you taken steps? Did he investigate? IPK state reserve investigators. New chief Besim Berisha has been investigated by the inspectors. He's been investigated and now he's a boss. After questioning the investigation sector”, he has asked.

Hodaj has said that there have been a considerable number of complaints in this competition and that the IPK is handling the case and that IPK will soon come up with a report on the matter.

As for task force investigators who have been investigating corruption cases, he said that at MINT's request, they have been investigating whether investigators who have requested classified-level documentation have been equipped with essential certificates or not.

According to him, the IPK has taken the necessary steps by investigating the case and consulting the prosecutor in the case. He has stressed that it has been the prosecution's assessment that all actions that investigators have taken have been co-ordinated and with the prosecutor's permission and investigators have been prepared, and with all necessary documentation required to investigate the relevant cases.

“In the process of competing for advance or promotion to the rank sergeant, we as IPK have accepted a number of complaints. Initially a considerable number of anonymous complaints. Then even based on the publications that have been in the media, we have created an investigative and inspection team. We'll handle all complaints separately. We're going to perform an extraordinary inspection. There have been suspicions of irregularities in some classes where the test is held and the dilemma for rights or not of applying a generation. It's the process we're working on. Regarding task force investigators who have been investigating corruption cases we have accepted a complaint from MINT to verify whether investigators who have requested classified-level documentation have been equipped with essential certificates or not. We've handled these, we've taken the necessary actions, we've consulted the prosecutor, we've drafted a report with information, and it's been a prosecutor's assessment that all actions that the investigators have taken have been co-ordinated and authorized by the prosecutor and investigators have been prepared and with all the documentation required to investigate the relevant cases and that no measure has been taken. We have simply addressed complaints that came from the Ministry of Commerce and prosecuted, as the law says. The question has been whether they have a security certificate that is allowed to access certain categories of documents in the secret category. The documents have been classified as secret documents, the certificate has been a confidential level of investigators, but the prosecutor's assessment is that for the investigation of these cases there is no need, he assumes the prosecutor's responsibility for all actions that officials have received on authorization from the prosecutor responsible”,

VVV MP Enver Dugolli has asked Hodane what the IPK report was about the investigation case.

“We too are concerned about the latest recruits for the sergeant of this process. We encourage the investigation to continue, we don't need a process that has dilemmas. Doubts disturb us as deputies and disturb even the police. I need a clarification that you said the prosecutor has a treaty that has no legal offense. We care what your report was. You sent him to the prosecutor, which means that the prosecutor is obliged to act on the findings of the report, you have found that those policemen did not have a secret security certificate as required by law”, he said.

Hodaj has said the findings are correct that investigators have been equipped with confidential levels certificate.

“contact is correct that investigators have been equipped with confidential level software, and documents have been classified at the secret level. These certificates were also presented by the investigator”, he said.

And MP Dugolli said that with the prosecution's findings on the case, the prosecutor has come over the law.

The prosecutor went over the law”, he said.

So this statement reacted to the MP The PDK's Rashit Qalaj, who said MP Dugoli is manipulating and making personal findings.

The “is the conclusion of your personals, is manipulation. It's your personal conclusion”, he said.

In connection with the scandal on state reserves, AAK deputy Beko Berisha also asked.

This Ridvan Muharremi, this furnace has a security asset. This storm that has confused all these jobs should then be confidential approach”, he said.

Hodaj during the report has said they are a process of inspection of stations in Pristina, while police stations according to him, in some cities are faced with lack of technology, uniform, patrols and many others.

He has said that the police's reaction when they receive information from citizens, their reaction to the scene is about 12-13 minutes average.
