During the conference, Minister Hoxha thanked the international assistance community for their continuous contribution in building and consolidating Kosovo institutions. Minister Hoxha stated that the confrontation of the Republic of Kosovo with various legal traditions has often delayed and, at times, impeded certain parts of the legal system in general and justice sector in particular. Nevertheless, sustainable institutions have been established.

“Along with the rapid social and political developments in Kosovo, we have managed to establish sustainable state institutions at all levels”, said Hoxha.

Minister Hoxha said that she is contented that since the post-war up to now this is a major step that has been taken towards assessing international assistance for a whole sector, such as the justice sector. And this assessment process will not be without multiple positive effects even within other governmental departments and beyond. 

“Our first step in this direction was the establishment of a critical measure for assessing international assistance in order to establish better coordination policies with the aim of increasing our benefits from this international assistance,” said Minister Hoxha.

Furthermore, Minister Hoxha noted that the Ministry of Justice is constantly increasing local involvement for better coordination, monitoring, and evaluation of donations in the justice sector.

At the end of her speech, Minister Hoxha praised the international assistance community for its continued contribution to building, developing, and consolidating the justice sector, as well as encouraged justice institutions to further work on strengthening the justice sector.
