Minister Tahiri announced that at the meeting the Board has concluded that the foreseen measures are being implemented with full commitment and efficiency. “The measures that derive from the Justice Package Laws are being implemented, among which we will highlight the preparations for the establishment of the Councils for Disciplinary Liability of Judges and Prosecutors, as mechanisms that will enable citizens to address every alleged violation committed by judges and prosecutors. With this new policy in place, the Office of the Disciplinary Prosecutor will end its mandate and leave room for more efficient, accountable and transparent handling of cases related to the liability of judges and prosecutors”, said Minister Tahiri.

Also, Minister Tahiri mentioned the progress achieved in the establishment of the Special Department within the Basic Court of Prishtina, which will exclusively deal with the cases of the Special Prosecution Office. According to the minister, this will increase the efficiency in combating corruption and organized crime.

Speaking about the obligations of the Ministry of Justice, Minister Tahiri noted the work done in implementing the laws of Notary and Mediation. “We have already drafted the administrative instructions that fall within our competence to implement these two laws, and we will soon appoint new notaries and implement the “1 Notary in 10,000 residents” formula to enable citizens faster, efficient and closer access to the notary services. I also informed the members of the Board on the implementation of mediation-related measures, where we have drafted sub-legal acts that present mediation in a new format, as an integral part of the justice system and as an extremely valuable tool for the quickest access to disputes resolution between the parties”, said Minister Tahiri.

In the next three months, the Board agreed to work on standardizing the procedures for licensing judicial experts, as well as organizing trainings for independent law enforcement bodies to implement the new Criminal Code and the Law on Confiscation of Assets acquired by Criminal Offense.

 “Justice 2020 is functioning with high efficiency and the effects of these measures will soon change the experience of our citizens with the justice system in the Republic of Kosovo”, said Minister Tahiri.
