The Constitutional Court in March had rejected the law on the Prosecutorial Council, which, according to the Government, would pave the way for deep reforms in the justice system. Under the indictment, the law was in conflict with provisions of the Constitution for the form of governance and power sharing, the competencies of the Parliament, the role of the Pulululli Lawyer, equality before the law and Article for the Prosecutorial Council.

The overturned law determined that six of the nine current prosecutors in the KKP would be suspended. Three, who would remain there by the end of the mandate, would be selected by a lot, as Minister Albulen Haxhiu said. To complete the composition of the KKP, elections would be organised at the level of all prosecutors, where each prosecutor can vote.

The highest instance of legislative and executive power in Kosovo has had serious remarks, especially at this point. According to the Constitutional Court, this would also have implications for democratic order and rule of law in the country.

The rational Constitution had mentioned the Venice Commission's opinion, saying that “the early conclusion of the mandates should always be linked to an identifiable violation or failure to perform the task of the relevant member and follow the basis, including the constitutional/legal procedure for the dismissal or end of the mandate under which” has been won because otherwise, “the suspension of constitutional institutions' mandates mandates could depend on the continuation of executive and/or legislature<3x>

The Constitutional Court estimated that “took into account the nature of the controversial Law provisions stated contrary to the Constitution and that the rest of the contrary Law would be difficult to implement after the declaration of the above provisions as invalid, the controversial Law, in the service of the principle of judicial security, should be declared invalid in its entire body”.
