The Public Commissioner within the legal time limit filed an appeal at the Appeal Chamber by the Constitutional Court against the Decision no. 325/2020, of the Independent Qualification Commission, for the subject of re-evaluation, Mrs. Rilinda Selimi, judge at the Tirana Administrative Court of Appeal.

The Public Commissioner, based on his constitutional and legal competences, in the evaluation of the recommendation of the International Monitoring Operation (IMO) ascertains that, from the review of the decision no. 325/2020, of the Independent Qualification Commission and its accompanying acts, such legal and factual circumstances emerge, which make the decision vulnerable in its entirety.

The Public Commissioner requests the reviewing of the grounds of the appeal by the Appeal Chamber and only upon  the College itself has conducted a full investigation and evaluation of the results of the administrative investigation for the subject of re-evaluation, Mrs. Rilinda Selimi and the other related persons, to decide otherwise to amend the decision no.325/2020 of the Independent Qualification Commission or to uphold the decision.

Pursuant to point 1, Article 16 of the Regulation “On the Activity of the Institution of Public Commissioners”, the appeal along with the IMO recommendation are published on the official website of this institution: http://ikp.al/ankime
