It is the case of Sebahate Morina in 2021 that was almost identical, of course not to those sizes, but that it is true of the Constitutional Court that the Prosecutor’s Police have failed to ensure Sebahate Morina’s right to life, Miftaraj said.

Miftaraj stressed that institutions must apply the recommendations of the Constitutional Court, adding that the IKD has important information on how institutions have failed in the case of Arlinda Zekimaj.

What needs to be done is to follow up on the recommendations the Constitutional Court has made at Sebahate Morina’s decision. We have important information about where the state wanted the case of Arlinda Zekay. In either case, the state must ensure the protection of the family’s life and physical security of the victim of domestic violence. The state should not have been victim and ex-husband living in the same house, the judge would have to assess the danger, Miftaraj said.
