Over half of Kosovo laws in process of completion-changing

Over 60 per cent of the laws in the Republic of Kosovo over the past three years have been in procedure for completion of change. So says the annual ombudsman Institute report. E dean of the Jurydic Faculty at Pristina University, Haxhi Gashi, says that frequent change of laws creates judicial uncertainty.
Since 2015 to 2018, more than half of the laws in Kosovo have been in process of completing the change, ombudsman Hilmi Jashari has announced. He has said that such a thing is a concern not only for law enforcement but also for citizens.

The “in 2015 has been at 65 per cent rate of all legislation has been a law of completion and change. In 2016 it fell to 55, but there were still over half, and in 2017 it was 51 percent, even though we had two choices, totals have been passed 21 laws, but half of these laws have been law enforcement laws, which is that Government sponsors laws that are constantly changing. ”

The Dean of the Law Faculty at the University of Pristina, Haxhi Gashi, has said that frequent change of laws poses a problem for their own implementers, adding that if a law goes into fulfillment-changing three times, then the new law should be drafted.

I consider that it is not good to change laws often, because it creates judicial uncertainty and then the law enforcement will start creating such practices that should always be changed. Therefore, a map of a legislation that is stable is much better for the country and protecting citizens' rights, but also for the state's own institutions and stability. ”

Even Ehat Miftaraj, from the Kosovo Institute for Justice, said Kosovo has never had a lack of laws, but, according to him, all the governments up to date, the practical problems in law enforcement have been trying to fight through meeting their changes.

The laws are usually drafted by people who may be uncompetent, unprofessional, who may have knowledge on the theoretical side but do not have the necessary expertise on the practical basis. Thus, a law that can be clear and good in reading, the same if it does not adapt to practical circumstances, becomes unintelligible, and it also stimulates the need for these laws to be fulfilled and changed several times over a short period of time. ”

The Ministry of Justice with functional revision of laws is expected to also define the period within which a law cannot be changed after drafting.
