It's not just Ols Dado without a magistracy...

Due to the importance of the case in progress, the appointment of Ols Dado as a prosecutor, without having graduated from the Magistrate's School, has received maximum attention. And it is understandable that the qualification of a prosecutor is raised as a public issue when he has a file of particular importance in his hands.

But, if we want to seriously address this problem, we need to put it in context.

Ols Dado is not the only SPAK prosecutor who exercises this function without a diploma from the Magistrate's School. In fact, from a look at the composition of the institution, it results that a significant part of the body of prosecutors have not entered the system through this school. The point is, of the three SPAK leaders in these years, only Klodian Braho has a Magistrate's diploma.

So, the problem cannot simply be: "Ols Dado has not completed his Magistrate's degree."

If this were an absolute obstacle, then the question would have to be asked about a significant part of the system and not just about one name.

By simple calculation, about 40% of the SPAK prosecutors do not have a Magistrate's degree. I do not think that this, in itself, is a major mistake.

Because, to be honest, a Magistrate's degree does not make you a good judge or prosecutor. It is, first and foremost, humanity and citizenship. Then life experience, integrity, professional ethics, the ability to understand the law and, above all, the ability to apply it impartially.

These are the criteria that should interest us.

A diploma is a formal criterion. But after many years of practicing the profession, what should weigh more is what kind of magistrate you became, not simply what school you graduated from.

Therefore, even for Ols Dado, the real question should not be: "Why doesn't he have a Master's degree?"

The question should be:

How is he performing his duties? Is he behaving ethically? Is he acting professionally? Is he respecting the law? Is he impartial? Is there a conflict of interest?

These are serious questions.

In fact, in this specific case, there is a much more important issue than the Magistrate's missing diploma.

These are what happened in the courtroom, when he interrupted Erion Veliaj, with insulting words that clearly showed a burden.

For me, the way a prosecutor behaves in front of a defendant is much more important than the fact of which school he or she received a degree from.

But even more important is the issue of conflict of interest and the prosecutor's impartiality or invulnerability.

If it is true that Ols Dado was the beneficiary of a construction permit granted by Erion Veliaj, then this is a circumstance that deserves much more attention than the diploma.

Here we have a question that is no longer related to the prosecutor's CV, but to the trust in his impartiality in a process where Veliaj is a defendant.

It is much more problematic for a prosecutor to have such a prior relationship with the person against whom he is charging, than whether or not he has a Magistrate's degree.

And, if there is a circumstance that creates suspicion, even an unreasonable one, of a conflict of interest, then the matter should be examined seriously. Even more so when another prosecutor could pursue the case, regardless of whether he also did not have a Magistrate's degree.

So, the problem is not the diploma. The problem is integrity.

This is where I think the debate about justice should also focus. We have a strange tendency to get caught up in formalities and lose sight of the essence.

A diploma may show that someone has completed school. It does not automatically show that they are a good magistrate. It does not show whether they are fair, whether they are impartial, whether they have ethics, whether they respect their opponents, whether they use the power given to them by law responsibly.

These are shown in practice.

Therefore, I would expect the Administrative Court to follow this logic when it reviewed Veliaj's lawsuit against Dado's appointment.

Not to get lost in side chatter, but to see the essence of the issue: is the appointment legal and, above all, are there any circumstances that affect public confidence in the impartiality of the prosecutor in this process?

Justice cannot be judged by formal documents alone. It cannot be reduced to a personnel office. Justice must also be seen in the context of the behavior of those who exercise it.

Ultimately, people don't remember whether or not the magistrate had a certain degree. They remember whether he was fair. Whether he was arrogant or a citizen. Whether he respected the law or abused his power. Whether he was impartial or left doubts about bias.

It is not the Magistracy that makes the magistrate. It is the behavior of the magistrate that makes or breaks the Magistracy.

This is what institutions should discuss first and foremost, and the public
