(10 months ago)At the meeting held yesterday between PDK Chairman Memli Krasniqi, and the United States Charge with Working in Kosovo, Annu Prattipati, in which even MP Abelard Tahiri was present, was raised with concern the question of the Supreme Court's decision, which, according to the PDK, seriously damages public interest. [...]
“Z. Krasniqi and I expressed the PDK's concern over the state of the judiciary in Kosovo, especially for the Commercial Court's decision to force the National Public Company to meet a contract in favour of a consortium of private companies, although the legal deadline for its implementation had expired,” declared MP Tahiri.
According to him, this decision not only conflicts with the law, but directly strikes public interest and taxpayers from the Republic of Kosovo.
In this direction, the Democratic Party of Kosovo has made a decision to engage in pro-bonds to challenge that decision at the Court of Appeals, through lawyer Faton Fetah and the party lawyers' team.
Our commitment to protecting public interest and citizens' rights will remain steadfast,” Tahiri concluded.
Days earlier, Tahiri had said that the Commercial Court -- founded by Albulen Haxhiu and the Vetevendosje Movement Parliamentary Group -- has decided to harm public interest by enriching a private company at the expense of the overall interest and taxpayers of the Republic of Kosovo.
The Commercial Court, after reviewing the indictment of a consortium of private companies that had contracts with the Public National Company for the joint construction of over 600,000 square metres, has illegally and unmatched to force the National Public Company to meet a contract, the legal deadline for implementation of which it had expired.
This harmful contract was linked to the second mandate of the Vetevendosje Movement in Pristina (2017-2021) and which, The PDK, not only has it failed, but we have requested its cancellation in legal ways.
Although the demand of this private consortium had as the first requirement for the fulfillment of the contract and as a second requirement for compensation of material damage and lost profits worth over 36m euros, the Kosovo Commercial Court did not even refuse the request for compensation for the damage, but forced the National Public Company to meet a contract, the implementation of which had never begun. As a result, the court's decision to establish an obligation to its fulfillment was groundless and illegal.
