The CEPEJ raises awareness amongst civil society stakeholders regarding the analysis of court performance

On 16 June 2026, CEPEJ organised a workshop for representatives of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) involved in monitoring judicial reforms, with the participation of members of the Kosovo Judicial Council (KJC). The workshop aimed to strengthen the capacity of NGOs to monitor court performance using CEPEJ’s indicators.

By analysing and identifying trends, and using visualisation tools, NGOs can help citizens better understand how the judicial system works, based on data regularly published by the KJC. They can also help disseminate this information in terms that are clearer and more accessible to the general public, thereby enhancing the transparency of the justice system and public confidence.

Drawing on the CEPEJ Handbook on Court Dashboards, the CEPEJ expert presented the methodology for using CEPEJ performance indicators as well as data visualisation tools. Participants then put this knowledge into practice through exercises based on data published by the KJC.

This activity was 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.

Welcome to the Council of Europe Office in Pristina

The Council of Europe Office in Pristina began its cooperation activities in the areas of human rights, rule of law and democracy in 1999. Since then  the Office has continuously facilitated the delivery of significant programmes of support towards the realisation of Council of Europe standards in practice for all people, assisting key institutions in the process of their democratic reforms.

Our cooperation has so far focused on building the capacities of judges and prosecutors on European Human Rights standards, supporting effective civil society engagement, promoting cultural diversity, providing expert support to legislative development, reinforcing independent institutions such as the Ombudsperson Institution, strengthening the role of the media and working to counteract economic crime and corruption, and elections monitoring. We have also provided the support of our expert monitoring and other mechanisms in line with relevant agreements.

The Council of Europe functions in full compliance with the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 and in this context the UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), OSCE Mission, the European Union Office in Kosovo and European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo are among our key strategic partners. Driven by a commitment to addressing local needs, ensuring value-added contributions and reinforcing partnerships, the Council of Europe Office in Pristina actively coordinates efforts with all relevant local and international actors in the field.

You will find further information about the Office, our cooperation and monitoring in the links above, as well as about the work of the Council of Europe in general.
