Lack of 145 employees did not stop work by Constitutional Court in Mitrovica

Within these two weeks of work, of November 7th, the Constitutional Court in Mitrovica left a total of 25 judges at the Foundation and Appeals together, and along with them 120 administration officials who have not yet influenced the work within the institution to stop.

We actually handled this issue urgently at one of the Judiciary Council meetings, and we had a communiqué for the discussion that happened. We've had an attitude and I really believe that next week we'll have more information about the whole process, but at first we've been focused on keeping the Constitutional Court in functional Mitrovica”, told Klan Kosova, Albert Zogaj, head of the Kosovo Judiciary Council.

The entire capacity of the Council and the Judiciary is focused on this component for the Constitutional Court in Mitrovica to continue operating and continue to provide services to citizens. And that actually the resignations of judges and staff, it's a relatively high number, to be dictated to minimal service”.

Zogaj has announced that to keep the system operational, judges from the region's branches have transferred to Mitrovica.

For this purpose we have co-ordinated and made an action plan together with the Court Speaker, and at the last meeting we have made several moves by judges from the same branches in Vushtrri, we have appointed several judges covering the branches of the Court in Zubin Potok and Leposaviq, and therefore the staff has moved to cover every service”.

assistance has also been provided by the Council for some services that could currently not be covered by internal staff for certain financial services, etc., so today I can confirm that the Court is functioning and that is good news for the judiciary and therefore for citizens who have managed to hold the functional court. ”
