US Ambassador Yuri Kim welcomed Albanian President Ilir Meta’s decreeing of the seventh member of the Constitutional Court, Sonila Bejtja.

“Thanks to President Ilir Meta for decreeing this evening the seventh judge of the Constitutional Court. Acting together with urgency - in direct response to the Venice Commission opinion, EU condition and demand of Albanian people - Presidency, Parliament and JAC have delivered functional Constitutional Court before December 31. The President, Parliament and JAC deserve credit for achieving quorum+1, but there can be no rest until all 9 seats are filled. Work must continue in new year. We urge qualified candidates to answer the call to duty so the people of Albania have true justice, as befits NATO Ally and EU aspirant”, Kim tweeted.

EU Ambassador to Albania Luigi Soreca also congratulated President Meta and the Justice Appointments Council for decreeing Bejtja.

“Today President Ilir Meta has decreed Mrs. Sonila Bejtja as the seventh Member of the Constitutional Court. We congratulate the President and the JAC for filling in this last vacancy. This important decision further reinforces the functionality of the Court”, Soreca tweeted.

The Constitutional Court became functional last week after two years pending, but now, with the seventh member, it strengthened further. It has nine seats, three of which are nominated by the President of the Republic, three from the Parliament and three from the High Court, which is still incomplete.

The Constitutional Court judges have 9-year terms, without the right to be reappointed.
