It's been nearly four months since the Special Prosecutor has invited incumbent Prime Minister Albin Kurti to appear for an interview as a witness for the state reserve case. Four Calls for Four MonthsBut Kurt still hasn't filed for an interview. And, as the law desires, for these acts, Prime Minister Kurti would have to be punished, writes Periscope.
While Kurti is reluctant to respect Kosovo's justice institutions, the one with Article 132 of the Kosovo Criminal Procedure Code would have to be pronounced fines of 250 euros. But it is not known whether this action was taken by the Constitutional Court, which has not yet been declared as to whether the measure was pronounced to the head of government in office.
For Periscope, Kosovo lawyer Xhevdet Smakqi said Kurti is hiding behind the Prime Minister's chair and if he fails to release Article 132 of the penal procedure code, then the Republic of Kosovo “is a dictatorial republic at risk for each citizen”
“in the case of a rejected witness in P invitations The SRK and the Order of the Kosovo Republic Criminal Procedure Court, which had issued Albin Kurti several weeks ago, must necessarily be implemented Article 132 of the Republic of Kosovo Criminal Procedure Code, so it can be pronounced fines of 250, while it is seen whether it has paid a fine to witness Albin Kurti at KRK's control, a fund that goes to the Kosovo Republic's” budget, Smakqi told Perisko.
“Vlerating that Abin Kurti hiding behind the prime minister's chair and civic vote has forced for the first time in the years of Kosovo's independence to challenge the justice system where Article 132 applies KKPPRK. If Article 132 fails to apply to Albin Kurti, we consider that the Republic of Kosovo is not the Parliamentary Republic, but is the dictatorial Republic at risk for each citizen and for its judges and prosecutors”, he added further.
What did Kurti say and what special prosecutor say about interviewing Kosovo's prime minister?
Kurti has repeatedly insisted that he be interviewed in the prime minister's office, even from his office have declared that this case has been politicised.
“The willingness and will to bear witness has been offered on several occasions and at different times at the Office of the Prime Minister. In all developed democracies, including the US and France, it is standard practice for top state officials to testify from their offices, to maintain the disrepute and avoid politicisation of legal processes. The same principle has been implemented in Kosovo, at least in the case of two former prime ministers and even the current deputy prime minister!”, said government response.
After Kurt didn't go to the office, the Special Prosecutor had come out in a reaction, saying that “do to act by respecting legislation in force”.
“The Special Prosecutor of the Republic of Kosovo, following the interest of many journalists, informs that witness A.K. has not been submitted to the Special Prosecutor to give his testimony despite the fact that the same has been commissioned by the Constitutional Court's Order in Pristina to appear in witness quality to give his testimony date 04.03.2025 at 10:00 at the Special Prosecutor of the Republic of Kosovo.
The Special Prosecutor of the Republic of Kosovo, even in this criminal case, as in all other cases, will act by respecting legislation in effect”, according to official notification
