Kosovo Judicial Council (KJC) hailed the swearing in of judges and prosecutors from the non-majority communities saying it is a sign of the north’s integration into the Kosovo judicial system. In a statement, KJC said the move is an important step and “marks consolidation of a unified justice system throughout the territory of the country” aimed at guaranteeing the people equal access to judicial institutions and achievement of their constitutional and legal rights.

In less than a month in the north of Kosovo, the court and the prosecutor's office should start working; it was agreed in Brussels at the last meeting of Serbian and Kosovo Presidents, Aleksandar Vučić with Hashim Thaçi. The Kosovo Judicial Council undertook all technical actions, candidate admission is done, and now in progress are works for the arrangement of the court building in the northern part of Mitrovica.

The Disciplinary Committee within the Kosovo Judicial Council has decided to suspend Salih Mekaj from his positions as President of the Court of Appeals and member of the Board of the Kosovo Judicial Council. This decision came since Mekaj was arrested last week and is being detained on criminal offence charges.
