The visit of experts of the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ) which took place on 16 and 17 January 2024 in Kosovo focused on strengthening the quality of statistical data generated from the case management information system (CMIS). Several meetings took place at central level - with the Kosovo Prosecutorial Council Commission for the Administration of Prosecution Offices, the Unit for Performance and Review of Prosecution Offices, the Statistical Unit and the IT Department - as well as in the regions (Pristina and Ferizaj Prosecution Offices). 

A key focus of the exchanges was the imperative need to establish a standardized approach as well as precise data inputs rules and principles to be uniformly applied by all staff across prosecution offices to ensure the production of reliable statistics facilitating informed decision-making and policy development. This knowledge transfer is expected to play a pivotal role in assisting Kosovo's prosecutorial system transition from manual to automatic data collection processes

This activity is organised by the KoSEJ III action “Strengthening the Quality and Efficiency of Justice in Kosovo”, which is part of the joint programme entitled "Horizontal Facility of the Western Balkans and Turkey III", co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the Council of Europe.
