2 resignations and 2 dismissals have been carried out as a result of the suspected rape of an 11-year-old girl in Prishtina.

However, Kosovo’s Minister of Justice Albulena Haxhiu, has warned of additional dismissals of officials “who haven’t performed their duties accordingly”.

For the case of the 11-year-old girl, investigations are underway in two separate criminal cases, that of suspicion of rape on August 27 by five people and suspicion of trafficking, rape and solicitation in June by six other people, reports REL.

For both cases, 11 people were arrested and all of them were ordered to be detained for 30 days.

“We within the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Justice are identifying responsible persons who may be related to the case so that we can take action against them,” said the minister of justice during a press conference on September 4.

Haxhiu also demanded the resignation of the chief prosecutor of the General Prosecution in Prishtina, Kujtim Munishi, and said that action should be taken against “prosecutors and judges who are not performing their duties as they should”.
