During the visit, Gërvalla and her team were received by acting supervising judge Valon Hajdini, as well as judges and representatives of the branch’s administrative staff.

She said that during the meeting she was informed about the institution’s condition and performance, its caseload and efficiency in handling cases, as well as the challenges the court faces and the steps taken to reduce the number of unresolved cases.

“Justice reform is not a political promise, but a state necessity. The package of five justice reform laws, the Vetting process, and the operationalization of the State Bureau for the Verification and Confiscation of Unjustifiable Assets constitute the main pillars in building a justice system that is more accountable, more trustworthy, and fairer for the citizens of the Republic of Kosovo,” Gërvalla said.

Gërvalla further stated that the Republic of Kosovo cannot be built on impunity and cannot move forward with weak institutions.

“Justice must be strong, professional, and uncompromising toward illegality, because only in this way is citizens’ trust strengthened and the Republic itself consolidated. Justice reform has no alternative, while impunity is not an option for a state governed by the rule of law,” she said.
