Preteni: Judiciary lacks courage to fight corruption
(Most monitored broadcasters, RTK1, KTV)
The head of the Kosovo Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) Hasan Preteni, considers that the Government, judiciary, municipalities and public enterprises continue to be the most corrupted sections in Kosovo.
While, according to him, the biggest corruption exists at the ministry of infrastructure, health, education and KEK, as these institutions deal with big tenders.
Moreover, Preteni said that there is much talk about corruption, little investigations and no trial at all. He considers that the prosecutors and judges lack professional courage and power to treat corruption cases.
According to him, the lack of the Anti-Mafia Law for verification and confiscation of the assets, presents an additional obstacle in fighting the corruption.
