SCPC Has Reservations About Way New Head of BPPO POCC Was Elected

For the second day, the reactions to the election of Islam Abazi as the head of the prosecutor’s office for the prosecution of organized crime and corruption have not subsided. The first anti-corruption officer, Biljana Ivanovska, says that the fact that photos of Islam Abazi with the first people on DUI were released to the public leaves room for doubt that “there was some influence”. She has remarks on the way of electing the head of this prosecutor’s office, but not on how the prosecutors voted, but on the absence of criteria, such as the evaluations of the Council of Public Prosecutors and the work program. “In the absence of all these things that I have listed, the pictures with close people in the party remained, which leaves room to believe that there was some influence. If he is a man of integrity, he can fight and prove that he is the one who will fix the Prosecutor’s Office. In fact, we should give space to him, but the current picture is not favourable,” said Ivanovska.
