The KPM gives clarification on the election of the new chairman: The process has been transparent and consistent with institution rules

In terms of this process, The KPM has come up with a clarification. Their clarification says that KPM's work regulation has never been in public discussion, and that the same is a clear legal interpretation that internal institutional floors regulating the institution's internal labour procedures and that do not regulate or define in any form relations with external parties (so in this case licensed media and the public) do not settle in public discussion.

So there are only KPM members who have the right and can change the working rule at any time. Also, the mayor's election is made exclusively by members of the Commission as a right and legal obligation of them”, the KPM's clarification said.

The clarification points out that the president's election, in addition to increasing efficiency and boosts KPM credibility, also increases the likelihood of cutting the time when the KPM will be able to have the right quorum to make decisions.

“Such a practice of electing the new KPM chairman before terminating the incumbent's mandate has been recorded earlier, respectively. Adnan Merovci, dated 09.03,2016, there was no uncertainty. This presents an institutional and similar historical and precedent, in terms of the operation and work of the Commission”, it is said in the clarification of the KPM.

The KKP has stressed that it is concerned by media reports for “masquerading” in an unprecedented and surprising manner of former prime minister.

“The KKPM reports that the issue of the election of the new mayor/ Subkryter has been addressed in December 2024, and discussions have continued throughout January 2025 until the January 17th meeting of January 2025. The formal requirement for amending the regulation was made on January 5th, 2025. The former mayor agreed on January 13th 2025 to proceed with the election of mayor during the meeting, despite the point of choosing the leadership that the cloud was not included in the agenda as required by most KPM members”

Complete explanation:

On public information regarding Mr. Berisha as head of the KPM, announces to the public that KPM's regulation of labour, originally drafted in 2012, and born in 2024, 2018 and now 2025, has been in accordance with the same KPM Law. 04/l-44 for the Independent Media Commission. KPM work order has never been in public discussion. It is a clear legal interpretation that internal institutional acts regulating the institution's internal labour procedures and that do not regulate or define in any form relations with external parties (so in this case licensed media and the public) are not put into public discussion.

So it's the only members of the KPM that have the right to change the working rule at any time. Also, the mayor's election is made exclusively by the Commission members as their right and legal obligation.

It is up to members of the Commission to do everything within their capacities that is possible for the KPM to function as efficiently and effectively as possible, which also means the avoidance of creating an institutional vacuum, namely, in concrete cases the absence of the mayor and the vice president. In addition, the mayor's election allows only a new KPM member to create the right quorum for holding regular meetings. On the contrary, the arrival of two new members is to be expected, which from the practice of choosing them may have a few months or an annual difference.

The mayor's choice, in addition to boosting efficiency and increasing KPM credibility, also increases the likelihood of cutting the time when KPM will be able to have the right quorum to make decisions.

Such a practice of electing the new KPM chairman before terming the chairman's term in office has been recorded earlier, respectively. Adnan Merovci, dated 09.03,2016, there was no uncertainty. This presents an institutional and similar history and precedent with regard to the operation and work of the Commission.

The external insistment to influence KPM's decision in the direction of the incumbent's intentional resignation of the mayor's position, in addition to opposing Article 6 of the KPM Law (PPM independence), also endangers the KPM's weakening of media regulators and increases the likelihood that creating quorum necessary for making decisions will have unnecessary delays and that with the mayor's election has been averted.

The KPM is concerned by media reports of <x0 malchim” in an unprecedented and surprising manner of former mayor. For the sake of clarification and transparency of media and citizens, The KKPM reports that the issue of the election of the new mayor/ Subkryter has been addressed in December 2024, and discussions have continued throughout January 2025 until the January 17th meeting of January 2025. The formal requirement for amending the regulation was made on January 5th, 2025. The former mayor agreed on January 13th 2025 to proceed with the election of mayor during the meeting, despite the point of selecting the chairmanship that the cloud was not included in the agenda as required by most KPM members.

Consequently, media reports for “characterisation” unannounced/audical “have been unverified and biased news that has falsely charged KPM for political influence.
