The Appeal Chamber opened today, on 03.07.2025, at 15:00, the public hearing of case (JR) 8/2023, dated 24.02.2023, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 600, dated 19.12.2022 of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Robert Kote.
During the verification of the presence of the parties, the presiding judge ascertained the presence of the assessee and the absence of the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, Mr. Klodian Braho, and reported as follows:
In the hearing dated 18.06.2025, after hearing the final conclusions of the parties, the trial panel declared the trial closed and withdrew in chambers to make the final decision on the case.
During the deliberations and in their framework, the trial panel considered the final request of the appellant, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution office, and considered pertinent to clarify through questions that would have to be addressed him in a procedural point of view regarding the final request to the Chamber. Therefore, in the hearing in chambers dated 01.07.2025, the trial panel revoked the interim decision made in the hearing dated 18.06.2025 to close the trial and to withdraw in chambers to make the decision on the case.
Considering that the clarification of the above would have to be carried out through questioning, due to the absence of the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office in today’s hearing and the impossibility to achieve this procedural action, the trial panel, after being consulted, decided that today’s hearing be postponed to 09.07.2025, at 14:00.
The public hearing shall take place at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.
