Kosovo and Albania

The regional exchange between the Constitutional Courts and Supreme Courts of Kosovo and Albania on the balance between legality and constitutionality control took place for the second consecutive time on 14 December 2023. Approximately 80 judges and legal advisors from the four courts participated in the conference held in Pristina (Kosovo).

In her keynote address, Professor Dr Gabriele Britz, former judge at the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany and Professor of Public Law and European Law at Justus Liebig University in Giessen, presented the German approach to balancing legality and constitutional control at the invitation of IRZ. During two panel discussions, the participants delved into selected legal questions, discussed ongoing developments in their case law, and deliberated on the associated challenges.

The cross-border exchange of experiences facilitated dynamic discussions and fostered an environment of mutual trust. The insights from German practice enriched the in-depth analysis of the legal framework, the prevailing case law across the four courts and the examination of established best practices.
