KLP still deadlocked over the Chief Prosecutor! Pjetërnikaj’s request to remove member Vat Staka rejected with 6 votes!

The High Prosecutorial Council (KLP) has rejected by 6 votes to 2 the request of the candidate for Prosecutor General, Ylli Pjetërnikaj, who sought the removal of KLP member Vat Staka from the evaluation of the race for the post of Prosecutor General.

The decision was taken after several hours of meeting, which was accompanied by heated debates.

The news is reported by journalist Anila Hoxha.

Meanwhile, the KLP meeting continues with the examination of the request of the other candidate for Prosecutor General, Arta Marku, who seeks the removal of KLP member Sokol Stojani from these procedures.

We recall that the KLP met again on Sunday, while a series of recusal requests were placed before the members, which have created an unusual situation within the Council.

Vat Staka requested the recusal of Zeqir Hoda, Hoda requested the recusal of Sokol Stojani, while Stojani requested the recusal of the KLP chair, Mirela Bogdani.

In his request, Stojani raised claims about the chair’s impartiality and asks that Bogdani not take part in chairing, examining, discussing and voting on the recusal requests.
