Vetting Appeals Confirms Prosecutor after One Year of Training

The Special Appeals Chamber (KPA) confirmed Prosecutor Elvin Gokaj in office on Wednesday, rejecting a complaint by the Public Commissioner requesting his dismissal.

The vetting panel making the decision was composed of Natasha Mulaj, Albana Shtylla, Ardian Hajdari, Rezarta Schuetz and Sokol Çomo.

The vetting commission suspended Prosecutor Gokaj in July 2019, and asked him to attend one year at the School of Magistrates.

The Public Commissioner appealed the decision, asking for his dismissal. The prosecutor had completed the required one-year-study before the KPA session resulting in his confirmation.
