Application no. 55662/22
Valentino KAÇORRI
against Albania
The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting on 19 June 2025 as a Committee composed of:
Úna Ní Raifeartaigh, president,
Mateja Đurović,
Vasilka Sancin, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 25 November 2022,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Valentino Kaçorri, was born in 1978. He was represented by Ms J. Qeleshi, a lawyer practising in Tirana.
Relying on Article 6 § 1 of the Convention, the applicant complained that there had been a violation of his right to a reasoned judgment, legal certainty and the right of access to the Constitutional Court. He also complained of a violation of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention.
The applicant’s complaints were communicated to the Albanian Government (“the Government”) who submitted their observations on the admissibility and merits of the application. On 14 June 2024 the Government’s observations were forwarded to the applicant through the Court’s Electronic Communication Service (eComms) for comments by 19 July 20124. The applicant’s representative downloaded the relevant documents on 15 July 2024. However, no response followed.
By letter dated 15 May 2025, sent through eComms, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired on 19 July 2024 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicant’s attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike an application out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. The applicant’s representative downloaded the letter on 15 May 2025. However, no response has been received by the Court.
THE LAW
In the light of the applicant’s failure to respond to the Government’s observations and to the Court’s subsequent correspondence, the Court concludes that the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue the application (Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention).
In view of the foregoing and in the absence of any special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention and the Protocols thereto, the Court, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, considers that it is no longer justified to continue the examination of the application.
Accordingly, the case should be struck out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
Done in English and notified in writing on 10 July 2025.
