Lawyer Jevdet Smakqi has described this as an unacceptable and irresponsible act.
He says it is a violation of the rights of prisoners who have been rehabilitated and are willing to return to society, Klankosova reports.tv.
The “is rude and ethical, because the president does not have the right to eliminate the institution of forgiveness, which is an institute defined by law and constitution”.
It must enforce this right and there is no reason for any prisoner” to be forgiven for four years, Smakqi said.
He cites that this institute for forgiveness has been used by the former Kosovo presidents and that it is a practice applied even in democratic states.
