Lawyer Jasmin Kalaq commented on the recent Brussels report concerning the rule of law in Macedonia, asserting that significant improvements are required within the judicial system. Kalaq argued that the courts must transition from being prolonged waiting grounds for justice to functioning as a genuine service for citizens. He highlighted the need for a greater degree of internal discipline and modernization of administrative procedures within the judiciary.
According to Kalaq, given that judges and prosecutors receive salaries that are stable and comparable to the national average, the public and the government are reasonable in expecting both increased efficiency and tangible results from the courts. Furthermore, the lawyer stressed the importance of maintaining judicial independence, specifically cautioning that the financing of the judiciary must never be used as a tool for exerting pressure. Kalaq’s remarks underscore a call for systemic reforms aimed at enhancing the operational capacity and public trust in Macedonia’s legal institutions.
The suggestions point toward structural adjustments necessary to ensure timely and equitable access to justice for all citizens.
