The Constitutional Court has decided to terminate the mandate of Judge Sonila Bejtja, paving the way for the President of the Republic to declare a vacancy in her position.
According to sources, the decision came after reviewing the Presidency's request and is based on the interpretation of the transitional period of the Court's functioning. At this stage, it was assessed that the principle of partial renewal of its composition should prevail, in order to maintain institutional balance.
Meanwhile, in the future, the principle of the inviolability of the 9-year mandate will be applied, as defined by the Constitution, but for current cases related to the reconstruction of justice institutions, it has been considered necessary to respect the constitutional calendar for updating members.
In accordance with this decision, the Constitutional Court will be renewed with three new members during 2025.
