Hearing postponed for members of Kosovo ruling party charged of corruption

The first court hearing of the 11 people from the ruling Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) for allegedly handing out state jobs to people based on their political affiliation, has been postponed. Most of the accused of the case did not appear during today’s hearing forcing the presiding judge to call a new hearing on 15 November. In April the State Prosecution Office has filed an indictment against senior members of the PDK based on wiretaps made in 2011 during an anticorruption operation where defendants could be heard in wiretapped conversations offering party supporters jobs at state-financed agencies, among them the rail network, courts and universities, water, energy, and health companies.
