Corruption cases continue to increase from year to year, and only in 2018, 58 corruption cases were filed.
This was said during the publication of the report "Access to Justice", of the organization for Democracy, Anti-corruption and Dignity, "Chuhu".
As it was emphasized that during one year of monitoring only 17 cases of high level corruption have been identified.
Çohu's researcher, Rina Maliqi, presenting the report, said that in all these cases of high-level corruption there have been low sentences, dismissal of indictments and release of these officials. According to her, this speaks of the low level of fighting and punishing high-level corruption.
The Chairman of the Kosovo Prosecutorial Council, Bahri Hyseni, speaking about the efficiency of their work, said that during the last year alone, about 72 thousand criminal cases have been processed. He stressed that only for corruption cases during this year, they have won six requests for protection of legality in the Supreme Court.
While mentioning some disciplinary measures they have taken within the council to increase work efficiency.
