Andrea Lako from UNMIK made a comparison between Albania and Kosovo, adding that the latter seems like Switzerland in terms of the justice system.
At the roundtable discussion organized by the Kosovo Law Institute, Lako said that he would not speak about the KLI reports, adding that they were made as a moral guarantee for justice in Kosovo.
He said he would express his impressions of the prosecutorial and judicial system in Kosovo by comparing it with Albania. In Albania, he said that he has been involved in drafting many mechanisms for lawmaking, but according to him, they have failed, adding that this was due to political interference.
"In Kosovo I find people more idealistic, maybe because of suffering or for other reasons, but definitely in Albania, the judiciary and prosecution were able to create a corporation that was not used to preserve independence but was used for corruption," said Lako, reports Betimi për Drejtësi.
In addition, Lako said that Albania is also faced with a large number of old cases that have remained in drawers.
"Now we have a terrible backlog, a civil case takes ten years. When I see these figures, you look like Switzerland to me. I don't know if Switzerland is that good or not," he said.
Lako said that there is always room for improvement, but called for Kosovo to maintain its achievements.
"The people of Kosovo undoubtedly deserve credit for these achievements, there are good professionals, in fact even internationals who have been here during this period, but it is important to preserve these achievements, especially independence," said Lako.
The Kosovo Law Institute (KLI) organized a roundtable discussion on Wednesday, where it published two reports that address cases within the Department for Serious Crimes and the General Department - Criminal Division.
