The Cabinet of the Government of the Republic of Kosovo approved the Draft Law on the Courts in Kosovo and the Draft Law on Amending the Law on the Irrigation of Agriculture Land.

Prime Minister Thaçi reaffirmed the commitment of the Government to reform the justice system in Kosovo, at the Cabinet meeting. The Prime Minister said, “With the approval of the Law on the Courts, the courts in Kosovo will be more efficient in accomplishing their mission to enforce and protect the law, by functioning promptly and fairly in solving judicial cases.” He added, “The new law on the courts provides the organizational form of the courts in Kosovo and their coverage of all of Kosovo, with seven basic courts and their branches throughout the Kosovo municipalities.”

The Cabinet approved the Draft Law on Amending the Law on the Irrigation of Agriculture Land, in an effort to use these amendments to harmonize this law with EU directives regulating this field.

The Cabinet also approved a decision, proposed by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports, to set aside funds to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Mother Teresa.

The Ministry of Culture, according to this decision, will set up an organizational council that will lead the activities marking this jubilee and will declare 2010 as “The Year of Mother Teresa.” The Cabinet mentioned that there will be numerous manifestations and cultural and scientific events commemorating our great humanist, Mother Teresa.
