Regarding Article 36 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo, according to Appeal, in the concrete case of testing computer equipment, electronic equipment and similar equipment, it is regulated with the provisions of Article 145 of the KPRK and that the law contains no legal gaps in the report, respectively, with the examination of electronic devices, including mobile phones.
Therefore, the Kosovo Court of Appeals' Penal College also estimates that in the concrete case of this procedure stage, the evidence is that the evidence is acceptable and taken in line with legal provisions, the prosecution is based on substantial supporting evidence and there are no circumstances for dropping the indictment.
