In the process of electing three new members of the High Judicial Council, as reported by journalist Anila Hoxha, present at the meeting, the candidates running for representation on the High Court have presented their positions and priorities for the next five years.

 Arbena Ahmeti, candidate for the Supreme Court of Kosovo, focused on the need for greater institutional cooperation and support for judges.

"The KLGJ should actively cooperate with responsible institutions. Judges' associations face a lack of funds and infrastructure, so the Council should provide support," said Ahmeti.

 She also asked for the trust of her colleagues for the next term: "If you give me your trust for the next five years, I promise that we will have a good judiciary."

Sandër Simoni, candidate for the Supreme Court of Kosovo, assessed the situation of the judicial system as a period of consolidation and at the same time a test.

"The judiciary is in a phase of consolidation and in moments of testing, due to the workload," Simoni said.

He also referred to some of the issues that have tested the system during this period: "The serious event of the loss of a colleague and the salary conflict were tests, first of all, for guaranteeing security and for respecting the decisions of the Constitutional Court."

Meanwhile, Fatri Islamaj, candidate for the Supreme Court of Appeal from the Court of Appeal, focused on the challenges facing the judicial system.

"The challenges are numerous. The unprecedented aggression we faced this month over salaries constitutes the most arrogant blow," Islamaj declared.

He also listed some of the priorities that, according to him, the Supreme Court should have: "Timely acceleration of the evaluation of judges, review of the number of judges, especially in courts where there is stock, as well as improvement of infrastructure. The Supreme Court should be closer to the courts."

Igerta Hysi, candidate for the Supreme Court of Justice from the Special Court of Appeal, focused on the promotion of judges, the quality of decisions, and the functioning of the judicial administration.

"Each of us must have the conviction that promotion does not depend on proximity to the Supreme Court, but on ability and work. The trust we seek from citizens must be felt by ourselves from within the system," Hysi said.

She said she will support improving the reasoning and timing of decisions, emphasizing quality and not just statistics. “I will support timely reasoning of decisions, but also not just statistics, but especially the quality of decisions,” said Hysi. According to her, judicial administration is also of particular importance. “A judge cannot do the job alone, so the administration deserves respect and support. The increase in the number of legal assistants should be reviewed,” she added.

Meanwhile, Brunilda Kadi, a candidate for the High Court of Justice from the Tirana Court of First Instance, relied on her previous experience in the Council and career in the judicial system.

"Previous experience during the first term, from 2016 to 2021, and my career in the judiciary have helped me get to know the system better," Kadi said.

She said that during her first term she had understood the need for the KLGJ to create its own identity, while after returning to the system she had faced new challenges. “During my first term I understood that the Council had to create its own identity. When I returned, I faced other challenges that the judiciary faces, as the KLGJ only does not listen to judges when the problem has become unbearable,” she stated.

Kadi described the duty of a judge as a special responsibility. "We have chosen the most sublime and difficult duty, namely the delivery of justice. This is not a job, but a mission," the candidate said.

Manjola Xhaxhi, a candidate for the Supreme Court of Kosovo from the courts of first instance, emphasized the need for strengthening and independence of the justice system, as well as the conditions in which judges work.

 

"We need to build a strong and independent judiciary. Many of our difficulties are related to infrastructure. Safe environments are needed. The situation requires emergency intervention in the Court of Appeal and further in the districts," said Xhaxhi. She also highlighted the uneven workload. "The time has come to have an equal distribution. It is not acceptable that in some courts judges have a workload of 700 files and another 100," she said. Xhaxhi also described the backlog as a significant problem, emphasizing that this situation "makes judges feel abandoned."

While Matilda Llangozi, a candidate for the Supreme Court of Justice from the courts of first instance, said that the Council should be closer to judges and their problems.

"The Supreme Court of Kosovo should be an institution that listens to the voice of judges and, if I am entrusted with this task, I will closely represent the problems, the reality of the courts and the dialogue with judges," declared Llangozi.

She emphasized that the independence of the judiciary is also related to the concrete conditions of the exercise of the duty. "The concerns of judges must be heard. Independence does not only mean the absence of interference from outside the system, but also the fulfillment of conditions, the filling of vacancies, the support of judges and promotion," said Llangozi.
