Former Minister of Justice, Eduart Halimi, has reacted after the decisions of the Strasbourg Court, which found violations in the vetting process against former prosecutors Gentjan Osmani and Ferdinand Elezi, as well as former judge Izet Kadana.
Through a reaction on Facebook, Halimi describes the three Strasbourg decisions as "historic", emphasizing that the court has found a flagrant violation of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, as their dismissals were not proportionate.
"Today, June 23, 2026, the European Court of Human Rights has issued decisions in the cases of Osmani v. Albania, Kadana v. Albania and Elezi v. Albania. Strasbourg finds a flagrant violation of Article 8 of the Convention for vetting dismissals, as they were not proportional. The Court requests a review of the procedures and a return to the system ," writes Halimi.
He congratulated the three magistrates, arguing that their careers were unfairly interrupted.
Halimi emphasizes that the responsibility now lies with the Constitutional Court, which, after the end of the mandate of the Special Appeals Chamber, will have to review the requests for reopening the cases.
"Now it is the turn of the Constitutional Court to establish justice, restore their dignity and guarantee the implementation of European standards," the former minister said.

sincere congratulations to the three magistrates whose careers built with great effort, dedication and sacrifices were unjustly interrupted.
