Constitutional Court

KI139/17, Applicant: Hazir Makolli, Constitutional review of Judgment AC-I-15-0062-A0033 of the Appellate Panel of the Special Chamber of the Supreme Court of Kosovo on Privatization Agency of Kosovo Related Matters, of 27 July 2017

KI139/17, Decision of 25 May 2018, published on 12 June 2018

Key words: manifestly ill-founded referral,

Following the publication of the final list of workers who met the criteria for benefiting a part of 20% proceeds from the privatization and liquidation of the Socially Owned Enterprise (SOE) Gërmia, the Applicant filed a complaint with the SCSC Specialized Panel. His complaint was dismissed as filed out of time.

The Applicant filed an appeal with the second instance–the Appellate Panel, which rejected the Applicant’s appeal, because he had not adhered to the procedure and terms determined by the relevant law.

The Applicant claimed before the Constitutional Court that his right to equality before the law had been violated because he had allegedly been discriminated in relation to other complainants.

Making reference to its own and ECHR case law, the Court found that the Applicant’s Referral is manifestly ill-founded on constitutional basis thereby declaring it inadmissible.
