The EU Ambassador in Kosovo emphasised that the Constitutional Court must be independent and free from political influence and pressure, 

“In order to uphold the independence of the judiciary, it is crucial that members of the government refrain from making statements that risk undermining the authority and the independence of the judiciary, as well as the public's confidence in it.”

The meeting also centred on the need for the decisions of the Constitutional Court to be respected and fully implemented, including the Judgment of 19 May 2016 on the case of Decani Monastery.
