KLGj Holds First Meeting, Elects Chair

Just like the KLP earlier this week, the High Judicial Council (KLGj) held its constitutive meeting this week.

The KLGj consists of the following 11 members:

  • Lawyers (2): Fatmira Luli; Alban Toro
  • Professors (2): Erjon Muharremaj; Maksim Çoku
  • Civil Society (1): Naurela Llagami
  • Judges at Court of First Instance (2/1 outside Tirana): Brunilda Kadi; Dritan Hallunaj; Marçela Shehu
  • Judges at Appeals Court (2/1 outside Tirana): Ilir Toska; Brikena Ukperaj
  • Judge at High Court (1): Medi Bici

There were three candidates for the position of chair, Naureda Llagami, Alban Toros, and Fatmira Luli. Llagami won the vote, while Maksim Çoku was elected deputy chair.

The institution of the KLGj and KLP now offer the prospect of solving several other issues, including the absence of judges at the High Court, the admissions at the School of Magistrates, and the installation of several other judicial institutions.
