Who gets carried away, and who graduated with the lowest passing grades?

Special Public Prosecutor Katica Janeva hopes that the government and the opposition will come to an agreement during this month and will ultimately settle the status of the Special Public Prosecutor’s Office, which in this critical period is in a halt and is unable to file charges. While both groups negotiate, Janeva and the VMRO-DPMNE MP Antonio Milososki, who is part of the opposition’s negotiating team, sent each other insulting messages. Prosecutor Janeva does not expect the draft law on public prosecution to go through any changes and hopes that the resistance coming from the opposition will be resolved.
“I don’t expect major problems with the changes to the law. The international community gave clear guidelines as did the Government, it’s only the opposition, which is personally involved in this. We can’t have a negotiator on the law who is personally part of a pre-investigation, and now gives statements on the SPO or myself. I’m talking about Antonio Miloshoski, who is getting carried away a lot with his statements,” said Prosecutor Janeva.
Milososki fired back that someone who finished law school with the lowest passing grades cannot be a prosecutor.
“In my modest opinion, given the size of her salary, it would be better for her and the public if she bought and read some good book and enriched her vocabulary. I know it’s too late to improve her horrible Law Faculty grade average, Miloshoski replied.
Meanwhile, Professor Nikola Tupanchevski says that the adoption of the law on public prosecution is a striking example of how a law should not be passed in North Macedonia, because the expert public is completely excluded.
“There should be a provision where the interpretation of whether wiretapped conversations can be considered evidence in the criminal procedure will be removed forever. Of course the law is irrelevant, but the solution is quite relevant, regardless of which law is working. If you want my opinion, it would be better for it to be resolved in the Law on Criminal Procedure”, says Tupanchevski.
Miloshoski is the prime suspect in the investigation of the SPO’s “Powerman” case and was questioned in the Special Public Prosecutor’s Office last October.
The SPO started the investigation against Miloshoski, Miloshoski’s father, the former mayor of Makedonski Brod, and another 11 persons on March 18th.
In the “Powerman” case, Miloshoski is suspected of allowing the sale of state-owned property to people close to him at very low prices.
For the future of the SPO, with the new legal solution, the negotiations that began in March are taking place in the Ministry of Justice, and representatives of VMRO-DPMNE are MP Miloshoski and Toni Menkinoski, attorney at law.

 There are no guarantees that the “bombs” did not come out of the SPO

The Special Public Prosecutor Katica Janeva cannot guarantee that the so-called “bombs” that were published by the Kichevo-born man nicknamed El Cheka on Facebook, were not leaked from the Special Public Prosecutor’s Office.
She confirmed that some of the so-called “bombs” that were published were also owned by the SPO, but she still investigating from where these “bombs” leaked, which were handed over to the Special Prosecutor’s Office by the then-opposition.
“I gave an order to investigate the so-called “bombs” and determine the duration according to the hard-drive, and then identify using those conversations. Information analysts are working on them, but most of these recordings are in Albanian and need to be translated,” said Prosecutor Janeva.
The Facebook profile that was used to publish these so-called “bombs” was inactivated yesterday. El Cheka has warned that there will be more “very dangerous bombs” if an international investigation into the events in Kumanovo’s Divo Naselje is not conducted, as DUI had promised.
According to him, the “bombs” were received by the “Kumanovo group”, whose members were unjustly convicted, and serving prison sentences in the Shutka prison.
According to Tupanchevski, the state should have a clear attitude in terms of wiretapped conversations, and recalls that according to the European Court of Human Rights, illegally wiretapped conversations can in certain cases be used as evidence, and this should also apply to newly-published conversations on social media.

Police inspectors have better conditions than judges

If we want to fight corruption, then the work conditions of judges and prosecutors need to be improved in order to have more effective justice and complete the processes, stated Prosecutor Janeva.
“I have said many times what my motive for applying as a Special Public Prosecutor was. In a small municipality as the one I come from, some inspectors in the municipality of Gevgelija have more rights than us, prosecutors and judges. They have vehicles, budgets, they have secretaries and typists, they have good offices. Judges and prosecutors have none of this. They have to be their own delivery, typists, expert associates and ultimately judges or prosecutors. That’s why I imposed the standards in the SPO for which I had the opportunity,” said Janeva.
