The EU is alarmed by lack of progress in the judiciary, Minister Gervala relates failure with ridiculous reasoning

The justice system continues to remain one of the most problematic points in Kosovo, according to the latest assessment by Progress Report for 2026.

The European Commission has found that the functioning of the judiciary in general has not marked any progress during this reporting period.

Despite these critical findings, Justice Minister Donika Grovalla has chosen a related tone.

During the parliamentary hearing that is being debated on this document, Gervala said that although the report states the lack of progress, it does not at least mark any reggress in the judicial system.

For the functioning of the judiciary as a whole, it has generally not marked progress, but not that it has taken steps backwards, Gervala said.

Meanwhile, the report notes that improper influences from political, economic, and other factors continue to undermine the independence and impartiality of the justice system.

Also, it becomes known that the package of laws for reforming justice has not yet been adopted.
