Constitutional Court Head reports to Police Death Threats against Judges

On Monday, Constitutional Court President Darko Kostadinovski reported, to the police, threats against the life and safety of judges from his institution. As the Court said, there have been threats towards judges related to action upon a certain case.

“President Kostadinovski has most fiercely condemned these threats against judges, stressing that in a democratic society, such and similar threats represent an attack on the Court’s integrity, but also direct pressure on the independent decision-making by all judges,” the institution pointed out.

Sitel reported it had been Party for Total Emancipation of Roma leader Samka Ibraimoski who was behind the threats, adding that he would make them, on Facebook, as a result of the Court’s decision to allow enforcement agents to resume collection of debts.

He’s already been summoned to a police station. However, he denied that what he’d written against Judge Ana Pavloska Daneva constituted death threats.
