The President of the Constitutional Court, Holta Zaçaj, has reacted to journalists regarding Prime Minister Edi Rama's comments on the request of the Union of Judges for a salary increase of 700 euros .

Zaçaj stated that she stands by what the institution she leads declared the day before, while emphasizing that comments from political parties should limit themselves to criticism and not turn into pressure.

"We stand by what we said in the press release. We appreciate that any of our decisions may be subject to criticism. And I have emphasized the fact that the right to freedom of expression means exactly this. But the limit remains to criticism, not pressure," said the president of the GJK.

Rama called a stance of the Constitutional Court some time ago regarding judges' salaries a joke, but Zaçaj says that such statements are common from parties involved in the process.

Zacaj's reaction:

I don't believe we are at this point of non-implementation.

When we had the opportunity, we told them, of course I expressed that the implementation of Constitutional decisions shows the stage of democracy.

Of course we still have work to do, but in its own right, our decisions are enforceable.

There are certain decisions that politics incurs its own costs if it does not implement, when we talk about other powers.

What is important is that the Court functions, we came out with an announcement because our duty is to guarantee the public that the Court functions independently, impartially, of course we appreciate the opinions that come from all sides, including the media, but essentially it is important that the public is informed, receives the right information and for our part to assure the public that we are independent and impartial, to do our job, regardless of who the interests and parties involved in the process are. 

These are common statements that we have seen from all parties involved in the process, including the media, I want to emphasize and consider.

Because sometimes it's you in the media who give more than necessary voice to the thoughts, the opinions that are given about our decisions.

However, as long as it comes within the framework of freedom of the media and expression, this is an added value, as I am a partisan myself, but also a trooper.

So what we considered important, the obligation to the public, to inform and guarantee our independent and impartial function, we accomplished.

The rest remains about how each of the powers intends to act and sees its duty, but for us this is the most important part.
