Constitutional Court

The applicant filed a referral alleging that his constitutional rights, especially the right to work and exercise profession, were violated by the Kosovo Judicial Council, which withdrew the recommendation the applicant had submitted to the SRSG, despite the fact that such a recommendation was approved by the Kosovo Assembly, According to case files, the KJC had withdrawn this recommendation after investigating the criminal past and ethnicity that applicant had stated when applying for the position of a Judge in the Minor Offence Court in Prizren, The Constitutional Court decided to reject applicant referral as inadmissible, thereby reasoning that the KJC actions, which according to the applicant resulted in a violation of his rights, are actions that took place before the Constitution entered into force, Consequently, the Court found this referral to be time-barred and in contradiction in “ratione temporis” with provisions of the Constitution and the law
