new from the bills concerns agreements between Kosovo and Sweden on extradition, the transfer of convicted persons and bilateral judicial assistance to criminal cases. While the fourth bill envisions ratification of the treaty for mutual judicial assistance in criminal issues between Kosovo and Belgium.
Commission Chairman Gigan Qorrolli said the agreements with Sweden constitute a package of co-operation between the two states in the field of criminal justice.
There are international agreements that our state and Sweden connect to the field of international judicial co-operation, Qorrolli said.
Explaining the importance of the agreements, he stopped at the opportunity of transferring convicted persons to serve the sentence in their country.
If a citizen of the Republic of Kosovo in Sweden and the opposite is convicted or demanded that a Kosovo citizen suffer the sentence while he is performing it for a work carried out in the state of Sweden, he could be transferred to the Republic of Kosovo to serve this sentence, he said.
During the meeting, there was also discussion of the candidates’ selection procedures for two vascan positions in the Kosovo Judiciary Council, as well as for directors of the Agency for Prevention of Corruption.
Qorroll announced that after the end of the contests, working groups will be formed to review apps.
The representative of the Vetevendosje Parliamentary Group nominated MP Blerim Gashi for leaders of the task force that will examine the apps for members of the Kosovo Judiciary Council. The formation of two working groups was approved by 11 votes.
On the other hand, PDK deputy Blerta Deliu-Codra demanded that before voting international agreements the justice minister be present to report on their content.
The up-to-date practices have been that the minister comes to the commission, and reports of agreements, Deliu-Codra said.
She praised that the Assembly should not bypass the current screening practices and informing MPs prior to the vote.
The Assembly cannot overcome these good practices, the PDK MP stressed.
