Kosovo Judicial Council to review reinstatement of Serbian judges
Koha DitoreLO·XK · RS·about 14 hours ago
Lawyer Hasan Shala argues that allowing Serbian judges who resigned in 2022 to return to their positions would undermine the integrity of the Kosovo judicial system. The statement highlights ongoing political and institutional friction regarding the reintegration of ethnic Serbian officials into state institutions.
Kosovo's Acting President and Prosecutorial Council have formalized the 2022 resignations of Serbian judicial staff, effectively preventing their reinstatement. This action, despite subsequent withdrawal of resignations, has drawn criticism from the EU and is claimed by legal experts to undermine judicial integrity. The move signals a hardening of institutional policy regarding ethnic Serbian personnel integration.
