The acting president of Kosovo, Albulena Haxhiu, confirmed on Tuesday the resignations of seven prosecutors from the Serbian community, who submitted their resignations to her in 2022.
A day ago, the Prosecutorial Council of Kosovo refused to withdraw the resignations of Serbian prosecutors who had changed their minds, reports KoSSev.
Serbian officials resigned in 2022 after the dismissal of Nenad Đurić, the police director for the northern region, who refused to implement the Government’s decision to ban Serbian license plates.
According to the European External Action Service (EEAS), under its Constitution, Kosovo is a multi-ethnic society governed by the rule of law and its justice system must reflect Kosovo’s ethnic diversity. The EU has repeatedly called on Kosovo to enable the reintegration of Kosovo Serb judicial personnel in accordance with Kosovo law and the Dialogue agreements.
The EU welcomed the withdrawal, on 15 July 2026, of the resignations submitted by Kosovo Serb judges, prosecutors and support staff.
“The EU is concerned by yesterday’s decision of the Prosecutorial Council of Kosovo (KPK) to accept the resignations that had already been withdrawn and by today’s decision of the President in office to decree the resignations. This seems incompatible with the law, with the regular legal process and the general requirements of the rule of law in Kosovo”. said the statement.
The EU calls on all relevant institutions to refrain from actions aimed at preventing the reintegration of Kosovo Serb judicial personnel.
In today’s statement to the media in Kosovo, the American Embassy in Pristina said that the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo guarantees the representation of Serbs in the country’s institutions.
The Embassy further states that it expects the Government of Kosovo to ensure that Serbs have equal opportunities and are able to participate fully in political and civic life.
