Primary school teachers visited the Court

A group of 15 teachers of the subject “Civic Education” in the primary schools of the municipalities of Fushë-Kosova, Shtime, Viti, Prizren and Prishtina visited the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kosovo, within the framework of the training program “Youth Empowerment – Enhancing Human Rights and Rule of Law Education in Schools”, supported by the EULEX Mission in Kosovo and implemented by the non-governmental organization Youth Initiative for Human Rights – Kosovo (YIHR-KS).

The teachers were received at the meeting by the judge of the Constitutional Court, Mr. Nexhmi Rexhepi, who, among other things, informed them about the jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court and the parties authorized to submit referrals, about the composition of constitutional judges and the process of their election, as well as about the decision-making of the Court and the mechanisms available for monitoring their applicability.

Among the issues about which the teachers expressed their interest in being informed in more detail regarding the work and activity of the Constitutional Court, was the selection procedure of the constitutional judges, their mandate as judges and the way of voting during the handling of cases.
