The President of Kosovo, Albulena Haxhiu, has formally requested that the President of the Judicial Council of Kosovo, Rrustem Thaçi, expedite the processing of judicial dismissals pertaining to Serbian community judges that were submitted in 2022. According to a letter obtained by Telegrafi, Haxhiu voiced concern over the delay in addressing these specific cases. Haxhiu’s correspondence noted that current legislation mandates a specific procedure following a judge’s dismissal, requiring the Judicial Council to propose the removal of the individual from office to the President.
The letter explicitly stated, “Through this letter, I allow myself to express my concern regarding the non-approval of the dismissals of Serbian community judges submitted in 2022.”
The communication further highlighted that the responsibility for reviewing and making decisions regarding these dismissals rests with the Judicial Council. Haxhiu pointed out that the institution had not yet undertaken the necessary actions concerning the submitted cases. This directive underscores the executive branch’s interest in ensuring the timely adherence to established legal protocols within the judicial system of Kosovo.
The expected action is a prompt resolution from the council regarding the status of the judges in question.
