On 4 March 2024, members of the working group of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Moldova (the Constitutional Court) working on developing a new online database for the decisions of the Constitutional Court visited the Constitutional Court (CC) and the Court of Cassation (CoC) of the Republic of Türkiye.

The study visit was organised by the Council of Europe in the view of supporting the development and deployment of a new online database of the Constitutional Court aimed at increasing the public accessibility of its decisions through a more modern, efficient, and user-friendly system.

The working group of the Constitutional Court had a series of exchanges with their Turkish counterparts on the technical specifications and functionalities of different online tools of the databases of CC’s and CoC’s rulings. As the working group of the Constitutional Court aims to ensure their concept, the new online database is both tailored to their specific needs as well as is aligned with best available practices. The discussions held at CC and CoC premises in Ankara were an opportunity to gain insights into Türkiye’s successful experiences in the operation of the respective online databases.

The visit was organised within the framework of the joint project of the European Union and the Council of Europe "Support to the Justice Reform in the Republic of Moldova".
