The KJC demands a more active role in the drafting of this complex draft law
The Kosovo Judicial Council has expressed its willingness to contribute to the drafting of the Draft Law for the realization of the right to trial within a reasonable time frame. However, it was said that this draft law is complex and has a high budget cost that should be taken into account by the Assembly of Kosovo.
The head of the KJC, Albert Zogaj, said that this institution has given the first comments in the working groups for this government initiative, but added that there will be a request for the judge of the case to have the opportunity to reflect on the urgency of the case and also to have a justification to show why the judicial process was obstructed at a certain time.
On the other hand, the member of the KJC, judge Artan Abazi, said that the main burden for this draft law should be on the KJC, as it has a key role in its implementation.
In addition to these, at today's meeting, the KJC made a number of decisions, including sending the names of some judges for a decree from the president, Vjosa Osmani, as well as opening several competitions in some of the courts in Kosovo.
The draft law on the realization of the right to a trial within a reasonable time limit is an initiative of the Ministry of Justice. According to them, the same will avoid the consequences that come from prolonging the cases in court. /KosovaPress/
