Vigan Qorrolli, chair of the Special Commission, said the selection process would uphold legality, transparency, impartiality and meritocracy, and ensure equal treatment for all candidates.
Lawyer Ardian Bajraktari, speaking to “Bota sot” about the importance of the process and filling the Court’s vacancies, said he expects the new judges to be selected lawfully and transparently, based on merit.
Bajraktari warned that the Court’s composition must be completed without delay, as prolonging the process could undermine the institution’s functioning and its ability to make decisions.
He said the concern is all the greater because the Constitutional Court has been operating with seven of the nine judges provided for in its composition for some time.
“The Court’s composition must be completed without delay, because next year it risks being left without the quorum needed to make decisions. This is especially important given that the Court has already been operating for some time with an incomplete composition, namely seven of the nine judges it should have,” Bajraktari told “Bota sot”.
