The Strasbourg court "overthrows" the former socialist MP/ Rejects his
Koço Kokëdhima, former socialist deputy in the Assembly

This Tuesday, the European Court of Human Rights examined the complaint of the former socialist deputy, Koço Kokëdhima, who claims that the decision to expel him from the parliament in 2016 is unfair.

According to the Court, his dismissal for conflict of interest related to the sale of an Internet company under his ownership to state institutions was a fair decision.

The Strasbourg Court has rejected the claims of the former deputy Kokëdhima for violation of his electoral rights or damage to his reputation, confirming the validity of the dismissal from office of deputies who benefit from or do business with public assets.

The Strasbourg Court confirmed the position of the Constitutional Court of Albania, rejecting the claim that the deputy was not able to foresee the conflict of interest in the absence of an explanation from the authorities, while the claim for violation of private life was rejected with the argument that the media reporting was a consequence of the actions of himself.

"The Constitutional Court of Albania noted the fact that Mr. Kokedhima sold his company just more than six months after the election. The Strasbourg court did not find this approach arbitrary or manifestly unreasonable," a court press release said.

"For more, Mr. Kokedhima should have known about the applicable laws and therefore should have foreseen that continuing to benefit from the income generated by contracts with public authorities in his new role as a deputy could constitute a conflict of interest."/ CNA
