Description
Since January, 2013, Kosovo’s court system has gone through a significant restructuring process as foreseen by the new Law on Courts. The reform prescribed by the subject Law, includes restructuring of the court system to assist in streamlining court operations and procedures in seven (7) Basic Courts of first instance with general jurisdiction; one (1) Court of Appeals with country wide jurisdiction located in Pristina and the Supreme Court as the final judicial authority in Kosovo. By clarifying the lines of authority, responsibility and accountability, this new structure is set to improve the functioning of the judiciary, improve public access, transparency, efficiency, and accountability of courts in Kosovo.
