Erion Veliaj's trial at the Administrative Court has been postponed,

Today's court session at the Administrative Court, involving the mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, and the prosecutor in his case, Ols Dado, has been postponed.

The trial panel has decided not to continue the case today, setting a new date for the next hearing.

According to the court's decision, the next hearing will take place on July 3, at 1:00 p.m.

The Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, filed on January 23 at the Tirana First Instance Administrative Court, a lawsuit against the institution of the President of the Republic of Albania from 2007-2012 and the Special Prosecutor, Ols Dado, requesting the determination of the absolute invalidity of the decree appointing the latter as prosecutor by a notary in 2008.

Veliaj also requests that the High Prosecutorial Council be forced to make a decision on the immediate termination of the magistrate's status and the illegal exercise of the prosecutor's duties in question.

"The President of the Republic has issued a decree in open violation of the procedural prescriptive provisions of Law No. 8737, making an appointment without legal basis and in the absence of material competence ratione personae to appoint an entity that did not meet the criteria of the law. This fact constitutes a flagrant violation of the legal order and a typical case of absolute invalidity of an administrative act, within the meaning of Article 108 of the Code of Administrative Procedures, since: (i) the act was issued in flagrant violation of the prescriptive norms of the law; (ii) the appointed person did not meet the general and specific legal conditions; and (iii) the public body has exercised its competence for appointment in violation of the procedural conditions of the validity of the act, making the decree legally ineffective and null abinitio ," the lawsuit states.
