(TV21)
Senior judiciary representatives consider that Kosovo has a large number of law graduates, but their professionalism is far from desired standards. According to them, this presents a problem for the judiciary while selecting judges and prosecutors.
Kosovo Judicial Council officials expressed their skepticism about appointment of 50 new judges, since, according to them, the candidates hired in last years’ call have not demonstrated professionalism and the required skills for the job.
Head of KJC Enver Peci said that they are skeptic about the appointment of all 50 judges, adding that the potential candidates for judges lack the professional skills for this task.
Big numbers of students, opening of many universities, and individuals that rapidly become university professors are considered to be some of the issues which have impacted in this situation.
On the other hand, Kosovo Judicial Institute demanded a reassessment of faculty of law curricula, in order for the universities to equip lawyers with the required qualities and skills for potential judges and prosecutors.

Forty-five Gjilan/Gnijlane families from non-majority communities are in the waiting list for houses construction.
Chairman of the communities’ committee of Gjilan/Gnjilane municipality, Kemal Shahin, said that people who have sold their houses or even have their own houses in Gjilan/ Gnjilane are in this list and they expect from ministry for communities and returns to construct new houses for them.
According to Shahin, injustice is being done to others who are in the waiting list, such as the Roma of Përlepnicë village, who currently live across Serbia, but they have expressed willingness to return to their homes.
Head of the municipality’s office for return and communities, Milivoje Zivkovic, said that 45 families compose the waiting list, including some families that are in this list since the end of the conflict.
On the other hand, according to Uros Staletovic, director of communication in the ministry for return and communities, six houses have been constructed by the ministry in Gjilan/Gnjilane during 2014.
