The Ministry of Justice committed to transparency, requests the cancellation of vacancy announcement

In order to recruit a professional and independent candidate, the Minister of Justice requested that the recruitment process be supported by the British project, as envisaged in the Memorandum of Understanding between the Kosovo Assembly and Government, and the British Embassy.

The Ministry of Public Administration established the Commission and the Ministry of Justice appointed its representatives pursuant to Article 215 (paragraph 2) of Law no. 04/L-149 on Execution of Penal Sanctions, with the British representatives as part of this process and EULEX as a monitor.

Today, the Minister of Justice has received a report from the British project recommending that none of the candidates meet the requirements to be appointed for this post. Based on this report, the Minister of Justice expects the Commission to take into account the recommendation of the British project which finds that none of the candidates meet the requirements and thus the post needs to be re-advertised.

The re-advertisement for the post of Director of KCS will be conducted in compliance with the recruitment procedures and in cooperation with other relevant institutions under applicable laws. The Ministry of Justice assures the public opinion and the media that the process will be transparent and any attempt to intervene and undermine the credibility of the process will be prosecuted under the law.
