Kallxo.com reports that an EULEX judge from the Kosovo’s Supreme Court Special Chamber has claimed that the law on Trepca mining complex is unconstitutional for two reasons, both relating to the fundamental right to property. The judge has addressed the Constitutional Court asking it to once again review the legality of the Trepca Law and annul it. The judge maintained that the economic goal of the Trepca Law was to take over the assets from the socially-owned enterprise to the newly-created shareholders association but the latter takes over no obligations. He also claimed that the new law results in the government of Kosovo expropriating assets without compensating for them and this, said the judge, is in violation to the Constitution of Kosovo. Telegrafi reports that the Supreme Court has already deposited its request to the Constitutional Court. Officials from the Constitutional Court confirmed having received the request and said it will be reviewed in due course.
