The High Inspector of Justice holds a working meeting in Kosovo

The Senior Inspector of Justice, Mr. Artur Metani, accompanied by a delegation from the ILD inspection team, conducted a working visit to Pristina, where he met with leaders of justice institutions and the academic staff of the Faculty of Law of the University of Pristina.

In the meeting held with the President of the Supreme Court of Kosovo, Mr. Fejzullah Rexhepi and the Supreme Court judge, Mr. Qerim Ademaj, the High Inspector of Justice, Mr. Artur Metani, first focused on the role and functions of the Office of the High Inspector of Justice in relation to the handling of complaints, disciplinary investigations and inspections of magistrates.

The President of the Supreme Court informed the High Inspector of Justice about the functions of the Court he heads, as well as the competence that the Supreme Court has in handling complaints of judges and prosecutors in Kosovo, against the decisions of the Disciplinary Commissions of the respective Councils. Mr. Metani and Mr. Rexhepi assessed that the building and deepening of professional relations between the two institutions contributes to the promotion of ethical and professional standards in the justice systems of the two countries.

The High Inspector of Justice and the delegation accompanying him held a working meeting at the Kosovo Judicial Council, where he was hosted by the Chair of the Judicial Council, Mr. Albert Zogaj, the Deputy Chair of this Council, Ms. Arjeta Sadiku, the Chair of the Judges' Performance Commission, Ms. Teuta Brahimi, and the Director General of the Secretariat of the Kosovo Judicial Council, Mr. Shkëlzen Maliqi.

Mr. Metani thanked Mr. Zogaj for his participation and engagement in the regional conference of inspection services, which was held in Tirana on September 25-26, 2025, and appreciated the inter-institutional cooperation, emphasizing the importance of exchanging best professional practices and institutional experiences.

Praising the excellent inter-institutional cooperation, Chairman Zogaj informed the High Inspector of Justice on developments within the judicial system of the Republic of Kosovo, including reform processes, the advancement of accountability and integrity mechanisms, as well as the challenges facing the Kosovo Judicial Council.

Both interlocutors agreed to intensify cooperation and develop joint initiatives in the future, including through professional exchanges in their respective institutions.

A special stop of the working visit of the High Inspector of Justice in Kosovo was at the Faculty of Law of the "Hasan Prishtina" University, with which ILD has a cooperation agreement, since October 2022.

In the meeting with the Dean of the Faculty of Law, Mr. Avni Puka, and the academic staff of this Faculty, the cooperation so far was considered quite productive, especially with the study visits of students of the Faculty of Law of Pristina to the Office of the High Inspector of Justice, and ideas were raised for future cooperation, as a legacy of generations, but also for the consolidation of justice institutions, since today's students are the future part of the system in Kosovo.
