Former Mayor of Karposhte Municipality, Stevço Jakimovski, is expected to formally request a postponement of the execution of his prison sentence. This request comes after the Criminal Court notified him that he was scheduled to report to Skopje Prison on February 2nd to begin serving his term. Jakimovski publicly confirmed the situation to the media, asserting that there are legitimate grounds supporting the need for a delay.
Supporting this claim, his legal representative, Viktor Cvetkovski, also confirmed the intention to seek a postponement. Cvetkovski pointed to the provisions within the Law on the Execution of Sanctions, which outline the possibility of delaying entry into custody. “There is a legal possibility, and furthermore, there are valid health reasons.
Yes, of course, we will request a postponement,” stated lawyer Cvetkovski. The legal framework governing sentence execution allows for delays under specific circumstances. According to the law, the commencement of serving a sentence can be postponed in various cases, including when an inmate requires hospitalization for serious illnesses or other medically necessary treatments.
The focus of the current proceedings centers on utilizing this legal provision to secure a deferral for Jakimovski. The anticipated action is therefore a formal application for the postponement, citing health concerns as the primary basis for his appeal to the court.
