Although it is unclear what has happened to the vetting of the 8 judges and 4 prosecutors that the Independent Qualification Commission started in November, the KPK has announced a new list of 57 judges and prosecutors that will be vetted. As Reporter reported in December, the KPK is failing to follow the transparency standards set by the Albanian law, and still hasn’t appointed a media coordinator, a vacancy for which was only opened after the Reporter story was published
All magistrates selected for this new batch belong to the High Court, Constitutional Court, or have applied for a position at the High Prosecutorial Council (KLP), High Judicial Council (KLGj), Council for Judicial Nominations (KED), and the High Judicial Inspectorate (ILD). KLP and KLGj candidates need to pass the vetting before Parliament can vote on them.
The list of magistrates includes several figures who have featured in the recent upheavals in the Prosecution Office, including former Prosecutor General Adriatik Llalla, Temporary Prosecutor General Arta Marku, and Prosecutor Rovena Gashi.
