KJC agenda: return of Serb judges to duty

The Kosovo Judicial Council (KJC) convenes today to discuss several key issues for the country’s justice system.

One of the central topics is addressing the request from the acting President, Albulena Haxhiu, as well as the notifications submitted by Serbian magistrates and administrative personnel who have changed their minds about their departure.

In an official letter dated June 19, 2026, addressed to the KJC chair, Rrustem Thaqi, acting President Haxhiu called on this institution to make a final decision on the status of the resignations previously submitted by the Serb judges and support staff, who had abandoned their posts in northern Kosovo.

This issue comes to the fore at a time when some of these individuals have signaled their willingness to rejoin the institutions, informing that they are withdrawing their previous resignations. Expectations are that the Council’s decision will play a key role in the full revitalization of the judicial mechanism, especially in Serb-populated areas.

In addition, the meeting agenda includes other issues, among them the selection of the new deputy chair of the KJC.
