The Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court are stillonly on paper, being used as ping pong between institutions for mutualaccusations. A day after the Socialists appealed to the President forcooperation, even setting the end of the year as the deadline for setting upthe two courts, Ilir Meta points the finger at the KED and the HJC.
In a letter addressed to the Assembly, the KED, the HJCand the People's Advocate, he accuses the heads of the new justice bodies oflegal anomalies in the process of filtering candidates for the ConstitutionalCourt and the Supreme Court.
"In these conditions, KED is required to continue working with full commitment and without being influenced by various actors, in order to complete all procedures within September 2020, for the three vacancies belonging to the President and the Assembly, avoiding any unconstitutional decision-making that would impose a reaction and cause irreparable consequences to this vital process for the country. ”
Meta even casts doubt onwhy in Wednesday's meeting of KED only 4 candidates are examined, where for thevacancy of the President there are 10 names.
"Such a division, in addition to having strong legal implications for the activity of KED, raises doubts about a premeditated selective process and deliberate delay in this process."
The Head of State does notsee any change in the procedures followed by KED, even after Dvoran'sdeparture.
"KED returned to the old practice, openly violating the Constitutional provisions, excluding the institution of the People's Advocate from the meeting of August 21, 2020. This is an even more serious anomaly, which is related to other actions, shows that KED It is very close to slipping back into lawlessness."
Ardian Dvorani's request to participate in the Councilmeetings has again worried Ilir Meta. The President even warns KED that thereview of this request is unconstitutional.
"Inclusion in the agenda and consideration of an issue that is essentially resolved and that is not the competence of the KED. First of all, it is a violation of competencies and constitutes a violation of the provisions of the Constitution and the law, which brings legal implications for the members of KED, as well as for the decision-making of this body. "
In his letter, the Head of State expresses greatdissatisfaction with the HJC, according to which for 2 years he has proposedonly 3 names for appointment to the High Court. Finally, Meta warns that anydeliberate action to block the functioning of both the Supreme Court and the ConstitutionalCourt requires the holding of legal responsibilities by every official.
