A recent report, titled “Judicial Efficiency in Handling Labor Disputes in Kosovo,” has identified significant delays in the resolution of labor disputes within Kosovo’s court system, noting that proceedings often exceed legally mandated timelines. The findings were released today by the FOL Movement. Mexhide Demolli Nimani, Director of the FOL Movement, stated that the analysis encompassed a review of 57 judicial cases that were recorded between 2021 and 2025.
The scope of the investigation covered multiple judicial levels. Specifically, the 57 cases were drawn from the Basic Court in Pristina’s Administrative Department (accounting for 32 cases), the Commercial Court at the first instance (13 cases), the Court of Appeals (7 cases), and the Commercial Court’s Second Instance Chamber (5 cases). According to Demolli Nimani, the data revealed limited movement through the appellate stages.
Out of the total 57 cases analyzed, only 12 cases successfully progressed to a second-instance decision. This figure was broken down further, with seven cases reaching the Court of Appeals and five cases reaching the Second Instance Chamber. The report suggests that the duration of handling these labor disputes presents a systemic challenge to judicial efficiency within the country.
