Over 100 officials invited for interview, suspected of manipulation of election results in Prizren

Sources of the “Justice Trust” have confirmed that under the investigation, over 100 officials engaged by the Central Election Commission during the December 28th elections have been invited for an interview, while there are expected to be detained persons during the day.

Prizren's chief prosecutor, Petrit Kryeziu, had in writing authorised the Kosovo Police to, with self-initiate, identify responsible persons and provide relevant evidence, including processes and signatures. Kryeziu confirmed this information days ago

The Constitutional Prosecutor in Prizren had indicated that he has monitored the voting recounting process from outside and that as the recounting nears its end, visible abuses have been recorded during the vote count within political subjects in the Prizren region.

According to the prosecution, after recounting at several locations differences between balloting and votes counted for candidates within political subjects have been noted, raising serious doubts about misuse of votes.

The prosecution has stressed that manipulation of the vote and counterfeiting election documents constitute criminal acts and that these cases will be handled without any compromise.
