The Public Commissioner was present today at the Appeal Chamber, while continued the judicial review of the appeal filed against the Decision no. 90/2018, of the Independent Qualification Commission, for the subject of re-evaluation Mr. Adnand Kosova, magistrate/prosecutor, at the General Prosecution Office.

The Public Commissioner, while presented the final conclusions, stood for the seeking appeal whereon according to him, the claims and evidence presented by the subject of re-evaluation failed to prove the contrary of the grounds of the appeal. In conclusions of the submissions and in assessing the recommendation of the IMO, the Public Commissioner ascertains that related to the asset criterion, the subject of re-evaluation lacked of financial resources and fails to justify the legitimate source of its creation, and requested to the Appeal Chamber to modify the decision and the dismissal from office of the subject of re-evaluation Mr. Adnand Kosova.

The subject of re-evaluation, in his positon, and in his final objections, expressed the opposite of what is claimed, and requested to the Appeal Chamber his reconfirmation in office.
