The opposition parties are considering that the government has not addressed the recommendations of the Venice Commission on the Draft Law for the Prosecution Council of Kosovo (PCK). In the Commission for Legislation it was said that this legislative initiative will end up in the Constitutional Court again and that the ruling party does not take justice reform seriously. During the review of the reports of the main commissions for this draft law, the opposition MPs emphasized that the independence of the Prosecution Council of Kosovo is being violated.
The Committee on Legislation has approved the reports of the main committees on the Draft Law on the Prosecution Council of Kosovo.
The MP of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Driton Selmanaj, has warned that this draft law will be sent to the Constitutional Court, as he pointed out that the recommendations of the Venice Commission have not been taken into account.
Selmani added that not taking into account the recommendations has political consequences for the country.
The chairman of the Commission on Legislation, Adnan Rrustemi, reacted to this, saying that the recommendations of the Venice Commission were addressed in the working group.
With this legislative initiative, Rrustemi emphasized that the government is trying to undo the corporatist character of the Prosecution Council of Kosovo. However, MP Selmanaj said that the government is not aiming for genuine justice reform.
Even the MP of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Hajdar Beqa, said that this draft law does not pass the filter of the Constitutional Court, as he considered that there are dozens of violations.
The MP of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, Besnik Tahiri, said that with the current composition of the Prosecution Council of Kosovo, institutional independence is being violated.
