The Supreme Prosecutorial Council has opened today the procedure for electing the head of the SPAK, while the first eight prosecutors of the institution will be sworn in on December 19 before the President of the Republic, marking the official start of work.
During the KLP meeting there were discussions on how the scoring would be done, ie whether this should be done by the KLP or the Special Commission in the Council.
Leader of the KLP, Gent Ibrahimi, proposed that each member to vote to explain his scoring for each candidate for the leadership position for SPAK in a scoring form after which they will be familiar with each competing platform.
On behalf of the Special Committee for the Establishment of the SPAK, Sander Beci said that the discussion on the SPAK has become part of several meetings of the Special Committee where the international community has assisted.
According to him, the essence lies in the fact that while the law requires voting as a final act in a complex way, this voting does not exclude the evaluation of each of the candidates for the leadership that will be based on meritocracy, professionalism and necessary conditions for promotion.
KLP’s member Nurihan Seiti said that the election of SPAK leaders will pass to the Council, not only as a decision of the Special Committee in the Council.
“Let us have the space to evaluate the head of the SPAK, with each member transparently evaluating the candidates for the position,” she said.
Member Kosta Beluri also said that the assessment should be made by the Council in order to ensure seriousness and transparency for the public.
This was also supported by Bujar Sheshi stated that if the scoring is to be done by the Special Commission dealing with all prosecutors who have nominated for the SPAK it is less objective or transparent.
In conclusion, the KLP decided by 8 votes in favor and 3 against (Sheshi, Dollapaj, Beci) that the interview should be considered as a supplementary evaluation tool, but would not be part of the nomination of SPAK leadership candidates.
This means that the leader will be scored on the 7 criteria predetermined in the evaluation methodology.
