Apart from the content of the file, the beliefs of the parties and the public as to whether the transfer of property is truly illegal or not, the expectation or proof lies elsewhere.
The “Partizani” trial is the first full file of the Special Prosecution Office where the defendants are accused of corruption and has gone to court. But months are passing and the long-awaited trial is not starting. Procedural loopholes of lawyers, or parties in the process, have caused the postponements to be placed in a chain that is not ending.
The latest was today's postponement, due to the failure of one of the defendants' lawyers to appear. Of course, the problems and procedural vacuums that arise in such a process, highly anticipated by the public, are predictable.
Because a court process is not a meeting session where one person speaks for the sake of form. It is actually the first real evidence of the Special Court in a high-level process, not only because it accuses the most powerful man in the country for 30 years, but also because the file is a material of great weight.
There is talk of converting a large and very valuable state property into a private property for the Prime Minister's family, where large towers were subsequently built, and the profit multiplied.
Apart from the content of the file, the beliefs of the parties and the public as to whether the transfer of property is truly illegal or not, the expectation or proof lies elsewhere.
To finally develop a true, real, open and as impartial a judicial process of European dimensions and standards. Where all parties have the opportunity to present their position on the material of the file, and not on petty procedural trinkets.
Where witnesses from each side can come forward fluently and tell what they know, thus giving the public a clear picture of what is happening.
Without the need for "translators" with microphones in their hands, or dinner ulemas, where they interpret the facts, just like the Ruffians of every color do with the holy books.
Creating an agenda and methodical programming, perhaps with international assistance and a modern process calendar, would create the possibility for a process that does not depend on daily whims or accidents. But there is a clear program that all parties are obliged to implement.
On the other hand, this test is also about transparency, the way that will be found for the public to follow the process itself, without the need for interpretation. Of course, journalists, chroniclers will do their job by reporting what happens, as will analysts or opinion leaders of all positions. But letting the public watch the process for themselves is a request from the majority that is also seen in various polls.
The postponements are giving signals that we are dealing with a calendar or working method where the parties, in this case the accused, are dictating the delay in order to avoid having a clear process.
As is happening with Gërdec, where the public never has the opportunity to follow the sessions, and learns most of the developments from the statements of one of the defendants who is a member of parliament. Signals that create the perception of a justice system with an agenda or influence of factors that have conflicts of interest from the process itself, in this case the accused.
