No one dares touching the big fish (Kosova Sot)

Following yesterday’s press conference by Kosovo’s Chief State Prosecutor Aleksander Lumezi where he presented the work of the State Prosecution for 2015, the paper writes that despite the presented figures, results in the fight against corruption remain far from the people’s expectations. The fact of the matter is that the “powerful” officials involved in corrupt activities are not likely to face justice, the paper claims. Even in cases when these people’s names are revealed and sometimes even indicted, they manage to avoid any prosecution or conviction. Now, the Chief State Prosecutor has the chance to prove that corruption can indeed be combated but this requires courage, commitment and professional mobilization. “Justifications will not work anymore,” writes the paper. If the Kosovo judges and prosecutors are up to performing their tasks, it will not be difficult to collect evidence of corruption, the paper concludes.
