Announcement of decision

2019-05-29 00:00 - 2019-05-30 00:00

The adjudication panel of the Appeal Chamber, chaired by Ms. Albana Shtylla, case rapporteur Mr. Luan Daci and members, Mr. Ardian Hajdari, Ms. Rezarta Schuetz, and Mr. Sokol Çomo, announced today the decision of case (JR) No. 20/2018 dated 17.10.2018, corresponding to the appeal of the assessee Rovena Gashi against decision no. 48, dated 25.07.2018 of the Independent Qualification Commission.

At the beginning of the hearing, to the purpose of public transparency, judge Albana Shtylla pointed out that the assessee had filed a request demanding the recusal of the members of the adjudication panel, registered with the Appeal Chamber upon no. prot. 753/37, dated 10.05.2019.

The request of the assessee was filed after the closing of the judicial review at the hearing dated May 6, 2019, when the adjudication panel was withdrawn in chambers to deliberate on the decision-making. This request was considered by 5 adjudication panels drawn by lot in the Appeal Chamber, considering the application of the principle of proportionality of impartiality at trial with the exercising of the functions of the Appeal Chamber as a court, given its limited number of judges.

Also, with regard to the review of this request of the assessee, the Appeal Chamber, pursuant to Article 75 of the Civil Procedure Code, guaranteed its trial of 5 adjudication panels, where the judge whose recusal was requested was not a member therein.

The adjudication panels assigned by lot with regard to this request, upon decisions no. 20/6, 20/11, 20/12, 20/13 and 20/14, dated 27.05.2019, decided the dismissal of the request of the assessee Rovena Gashi for the recusal of the members of the adjudication panel reviewing the appeal against IQC decision no. 48, dated 25. 07. 2018.

Based on the afore-mentioned decisions, the adjudication panel proceeded with the deliberations on making the decision related to the assessee Rovena Gashi, and decided the following:

The adjudication panel considers that, from the financial analysis, it results that the assessee lacked payment capacity upon income from lawful financial sources, as concluded in the decision of the Independent Qualification Commission, a factual situation provided for in Article D, paragraphs 1 and 3, of the Annex to the Constitution and Article 33, paragraph 5, item ‘b’, of Law no. 84/2016.

For these reasons, pursuant to Article 66, paragraph 1, item ‘a’ of Law no. 84/2016, “On the transitional re-evaluation of judges and prosecutors in the Republic of Albania”, the adjudication panel of the Appeal Chamber unanimously decided:

1. To uphold decision no. 48, dated 25.07.2018, of the Independent Qualification Commission.

2. This decision is final and effective immediately.

Announced in Tirana, today on 29.05.2019

    Gjatë paraqitjes së konkluzioneve përfundimtare për kriterin e vlerësimit të aftësive profesionale, përfaqësuesi i Drejtuesit të Prokurorisë së Posaçme z. Klodjan Braho deklaroi se shkeljet e konstatuara të subjektit të rivlerësimit janë të tilla që kualifikohen në ato që cenojnë besimin e publikut tek sistemi i drejtësisë, sipas nenit 61, pika 5, të ligjit 84/2016. Përfundimisht, përfaqësuesi i Drejtuesit të Prokurorisë së Posaçme i kërkoi Kolegjit ndryshimin e vendimit të Komisionit të Pavarur të Kualifikimit nr. 702, datë 27.09.2023.

    Përfaqësuesja ligjore e subjektit të rivlerësimit deklaroi se kërkimi i masës ekstreme të shkarkimit nga përfaqësuesi i Drejtuesit të Prokurorisë së Posaçme, bazuar në pikën 5, të nenit 61, cenim i besimit të publikut tek sistemi i drejtësisë, bie ndesh me parashikimet ligjore që përcakton Aneksi i Kushtetutës, ligji i posaçëm, por edhe praktika e Kolegjit. Sipas përfaqësueses ligjore, referimi në këtë nen, mund të bëhej vetëm nëse do të kishte një vlerësim tërësor të tri kritereve të vlerësimit, ndërkohë që z. Bushati ka arritur nivel të besueshëm në dy kriteret e tjera, atë të pasurisë dhe të figurës. Gjithashtu, sa i përket episodeve të pretenduara si shkaqe që kanë cenuar besimin e publikut, përfaqësuesja ligjore deklaroi se konstatohet një mungesë tërësore e lidhjes shkakësore që do të mund të çonte në cënimin e presupozuar të besimit të publikut.

    Pasi dëgjoi qëndrimet përfundimtare të palëve, trupi gjykues vendosi mbylljen e shqyrtimit gjyqësor të çështjes dhe u tërhoq në dhomë këshillimi për marrjen e vendimit përfundimtar, të cilin do ta shpallë më datë 25.11.2025, ora 10:00.

  • Decision day
    2025-11-25 All day

    The Appeal Chamber held on 13.11.2025, at 09:00, the public hearing of case (JR) 53/2023, dated 09.11.2023, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 702, dated 27.09.2023 of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Agron Bushati.

    During the submission of the final conclusions on the proficiency assessment criteria, Mr. Klodjan Braho, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, maintained that the assessee’s violations amount to such gravity that they qualify as undermining public trust in the justice system, under Article 61, paragraph 5, of Law no. 84/2016. Finally, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office requested the Chamber the amendment of decision no. 702, dated 27.09.2023 of the Independent Qualification Commission.

    The legal representative of the assessee stated that the request for the extreme measure of dismissal from office of the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, pursuant to Article 61, paragraph 5, violation of public trust in the justice system, conflicts with the legal provisions set forth in the Annex to the Constitution, the special law, but also the case-law of the Appeal Chamber. According to the legal representative, the reference to this article could only be made if there was an overall evaluation of the three assessment criteria, while Mr. Bushati has reached a reliable level in the other two criteria, the asset and background ones. Also, with respect to the episodes alleged as grounds that have violated public trust, the legal representative stated that there is a complete lack of causal connection that could lead to the presumed violation of public trust.

    After hearing the final positions of the parties, the trial panel decided to close the judicial review of the case and withdrew in chambers to make the final decision, which it shall announce on 25.11.2025, at 10:00.

    The public hearing shall take place at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.
