After 2022 Mass Resignations, Some Kosovo Serbs Seek Return to Judicial Posts

After Serbia-linked mass resignations in 2022, some Kosovo Serbs are now looking to return to judicial positions, arguing they were pressured by politics and disrupted their careers. The OSCE has warned the departures reduced court and prosecution capacity in Mitrovica/Mitrovica North. Serbian leader Aleksandar Vučić has called for re-employment, but Kosovo’s officials say rehiring en masse may be unconstitutional and would require legal handling through judicial councils rather than political pressure.
