Kosovo’s Minister of Justice, Donika Gërvalla, has begun official meetings as part of her visit to Brussels.
Gërvalla met with the Director-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations at the European Commission, Gert Jan Koopman, with whom she discussed the continuation of justice reforms, reports IndeksOnline.
According to Gërvalla, the discussions focused on key ongoing reforms, including the operationalisation of the State Bureau for Verification and Confiscation of Unjustified Assets, the vetting process, and a package of five draft laws currently under public consultation.
“These measures aim to strengthen institutional integrity and ensure a long-term transformation of the justice system in the Republic of Kosovo,” Gërvalla stated.
In her post, she emphasized that justice reforms are intended to improve citizens’ access to justice while strengthening integrity, professionalism, and accountability within judicial institutions, as part of a more functional and trustworthy system.
She also underlined the importance of continued European Union support in advancing the rule of law and meeting standards related to the EU integration process, noting that progress in the justice sector remains a key element.
Gërvalla reiterated that the Republic of Kosovo remains firmly committed to its European orientation through strengthening the justice system and the rule of law as fundamental pillars of this process.
