In the meeting they discussed the new legislation that will help the Special Prosecution Office in a more efficient fight against corruption and organized crime, particular with regards to the Draft law on the confiscation of property gained through criminal offence and the Draft law on whistleblowers, which have already been adopted in principle by the Assembly of Kosovo.                  

“We believe that the upcoming years will be the years that will show a greater efficiency in the fight against organized crime and corruption. What is important is to increase the efficiency in the confiscation of property gained through criminal offence” said Minister Tahiri.

Minister Tahiri underlined that the positive report received from the European Union on the fulfillment all requirements for visa liberalization, is an incentive for further work.

After the conclusion of the EULEX Mission, Minister Tahiri underlined that the number of Prosecutors in the Special Prosecution Office will increase, but also the number of additional staff, in order to handle a large number of cases that will be transferred to this institution.

The Chief State Prosecutor, Aleksandër Lumezi, stressed that the Prosecutorial Council of Kosovo has already initiated the procedures for the promotion of 5 prosecutors in the Special Prosecution Office. Whereas Chief Prosecutor Reshat Millaku said that the opening of a special department of the Basic Court for adjudicating the cases of Special Prosecution Office is a good news as, according to him, this will have an impact on the increase in the efficiency of prosecutors.
