In an extraordinary session of Parliament, all 27 members of the three vetting institutions, the Independent Qualification Commission (KPK), the Appeals College (KA), and the Public Commissioners, were approved with 100 votes in favor and 2 against.
The members of the KPK and the Public Commissioners were nominated earlier today. The KA members had been nominated three days ago.
Assisted by the International Monitoring Operation (ONM), the institutions will now start with the vetting of the entire judiciary branch.
With the vote today, the most important demand of Prime Minister Edi Rama toward the opposition for agreeing to the McAllister+ agreement, the consensual approval of the vetting institutions, has been met.
