Pristina, 20 November 2019 – FOL Movement and BIRN Kosovo present today the data from monitoring the publication of judgments in all Kosovo Courts. Through the following infographics you can see the publication of all judgments by all Kosovo courts for October 2019.
Publication of Judgments by All Courts of Kosovo – October 2019.
Clarification: The publication of judgments during the period of October 1st to October 31st, 2019 was monitored for all Kosovo’s courts focusing on criminal, civil, commercial, and administrative departments. Additionally, this monitoring covered the publication of judgments according to judges from all courts (including their branches) for the abovementioned departments. The President of the Supreme Court; President of the Court of Appeals; Presidents of the Basic Courts; and the Judges from the Division for Minor Offences are not included in this monitoring.
During the monitoring of judgments published in the Kosovo Judicial Council’s website, for the abovementioned period, it has been noted that there is a total of 1617 judgments published, or 173 more than BIRN and FOL have in their database. This difference in is due to double publication of judgments or publication of court decisions. Additionally, during the month of October, it has been noticed that courts have published judgments made by judges who have been promoted to more senior positions, have been transferred to Minor Offence Division, or have retired. These shortcomings were noted during a detailed verification by BIRN and FOL.
