Supreme Court Chief Justice Expresses Concerns Over Government Appointment of Jurisprudence Commission
Pristina, Kosovo – The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Kosovo, Fejzullah Rexhepi, has issued a strong response to the government’s recent appointment of a new Commission for the Provision of Jurisprudence. The Court asserts that the government’s actions represent an attempt to interfere with its independent judicial work. In a statement released to the media, the Court highlighted concerns regarding Decision 24/11, issued on April 20, 2026, by the latest session of the Government.
The decision led to a significant change within the commission responsible for examining jurisprudence matters. Specifically, the Court contends that the Ministry of Justice and the government sought to undermine the court’s authority and operational independence. The Court stated that it had previously prevented the Gazeta Express from publishing information related to the commission on April 21, 2026, at 10:23.
Chief Justice Rexhepi emphasized the importance of judicial independence and the court’s role in upholding the principles of justice within the legal system. The Supreme Court views this appointment as a deliberate attempt to influence the court’s processes. Further details regarding the changes within the commission are expected to be released by the court.
