Berisha on Prosecutor General Election: Opposition No Longer Cooperates with SP on Candidates

Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha spoke to the media outside the SPAK premises, where he appeared today. Asked whether the opposition would cooperate with the Socialist Party in selecting the new Prosecutor General, Berisha stated that this cooperation has ceased.

“After their act with the People’s Advocate, we are not participating in the selection of candidates. We have cut off all cooperation with the SP on selecting candidates,” he said.

Berisha also criticized the way the prosecution institution currently functions, saying that the powers of the Prosecutor General have been significantly limited and that his role has been reduced to statistics.

“Today, the Prosecutor General is the institution most stripped of any competence. In my view, this is a mistaken stripping away, as we are talking about a constitutional institution and leaving it with just some statistics constitutes a wrong act. I think some of the mistakes made can be corrected,” Berisha concluded.
