Minister Hoxha stated that the need for such review has been raised and discussed for a long time, but now the time has come to take actions in this matter. The functional review will focus on three aspects which are considered as problematic for an efficient, transparent, and accountable rule of law system in service of the citizens.

 “First, we are dealing with the sectoral strategy that affects the rule of law sector. We have a considerate number of laws, but there are numerous criticisms that they are not consistent and that there are contradictions among them, which makes their implementation difficult and sometimes even impossible”, said Minister Hoxha.

The second aspect, emphasized Minister Hoxha, is the review of the transparency, accountability, and efficiency level of justice institutions, whereas the third aspect is the review of the level of cooperation and communication between justice institutions and law enforcement institutions, including the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Police, Customs, Kosovo Intelligence Agency, and the Ministry of Finance.

Minister Hoxha stated that the functional review of the rule of law sector incites transparency, accountability, and efficiency of justice institutions in view of the European integration agenda and that without proper cooperation and communication between justice institutions and law enforcement institutions there can be no effective rule of law.
