During today’s hearing the Public Commissioner submitted his opinion on the draft-methodology drafted by the Appeal Chamber, considering it structurally complete, however, in order to consider it applicable in terms of appropriate investigation of the case, the following three assessment sources should be obtained in the capacity of evidence:
- the personal file of the magistrate, Mr. Gentian Medja;
- the opinion of the Chair of the First Instance Administrative Court of Tirana;
- written information from the School of Magistrates.
On the other hand, the assessee stated his objection to the usage of this draft – methodology for conducting the re-evaluation process with regard to the proficiency assessment, considering its elements as exceeding the Appeal Chamber powers, and appeal grounds.

- The personal file of the magistrate, Mr. Gentian Medja and the opinion of the Chair of the First Instance Administrative Court of Tirana;
