Lawyer and former prosecutor of serious crimes, Besnik Muçi, explained on the show "The Unexposed" on MCN TV the cases when Veliaj was dismissed from his position as mayor.
He said that three cases of dismissal are foreseen, such as when violating the law and the constitution, when sentenced by a final decision, and when not reporting to work for more than three months and at the request of the municipal council.
"We must separate the criminal process against Veliaj and the security measure from the issue of dismissal from the Council of Ministers. The Constitution and the law provide for the end of mandates, among other things, for dismissal. Three cases of dismissal are foreseen. When the president violates the law or the constitution. Case two, when they are sentenced by a final decision.
The third case is when he does not show up for work for more than three months and at the request of the municipal council. So there are two cases for Veliaj, serious violation of the law and the constitution and dismissal.
The dismissal can be carried out by the Council of Ministers, if it assesses that Veliaj, despite the criminal case, has committed serious violations of the law or the Constitution. The law has left it to two institutions, the Council of Ministers and the municipal council, that if the mayor does not show up for work for 3 months, to request the Council of Ministers for dismissal.
If in the first case it is in the assessment of the Council of Ministers, in the second case I say it is the conditions, since Veliaj did not show up for work.
The law doesn't say whether it's an excused absence or not. If he doesn't show up for work for 90 days, he should be fired.
Let me bring up the case of the dismissal of the mayor of Vaut i Dejës. He was dismissed immediately, the day after the police reported him.
I mentioned the case of Mr. Zef Hila, because there are similarities. The Council of Ministers initiated an administrative procedure. The CC says that the administrative procedure is separate from the criminal procedure, so it can be initiated.
The discussion is, did Veliaj violate the law? If so, should the Council of Ministers initiate administrative proceedings? If he did not, we should wait for the conclusion of the criminal proceedings.
"So the law refers to point three, failure to show up for work. As long as the issue continues, I think we are in the conditions of point three, but also point one," said Muçi.
