New judges informed about the work and responsibilities of the Constitutional Court

In the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kosovo, an informative workshop was held with newly appointed judges, organized within the initial training program by the Academy of Justice of Kosovo.

The new judges were received at the meeting by the judge of the Constitutional Court, Mr. Nexhmi Rexhepi, who during his presentation first discussed the role and competencies that the Court enjoys in the legal system of the Republic of Kosovo, its organizational structure, as well as the parties authorized to submit referrals.

Judge Rexhepi further spoke in more detail about the procedures for dealing with cases, about the criteria for adjudicating a case in a reasonable time, about using the Court’s judgments as a precedent for decision-making in similar cases, as well as about the possibilities that the regular courts through the mechanism of incidental control should refer to the Constitutional Court.

During the conversation, the new judges expressed their interest in being informed in more detail about the cases when the Court can review its case law, the difference between the control of legality and constitutionality of acts, as well as about different aspects of the referral procedure of requests through incidental control.
