Shukri Buja, former Mayor of Lipjan, has been sentenced to three years in prison for abuse of official duty. Buja was accused of signing in 2008 a ten-year contract with “NEW Co Feronikel Complex” company renting out municipal property for a monthly payment of €1. The Basic Court in Pristina ruled the contract caused damage to the municipality of Lipjan. Buja linked the court’s ruling to his case being identified as a visa liberalisation condition by the EU. “I hope visa liberalisation will happen now after my conviction,” Buja is quoted to have said. He also said the case against him was “politically orchestrated”, Kallxo.com reports.
