The Constitutional Court has annulled the Instructions concerning certificates including an ethnicity graph.
As the Court explained on Wednesday, Justice Minister Krenar Lloga violated the Constitution because the Instructions, signed on 29 May, were published 17 days after that, instead of within the one-week deadline.
Commenting on the developments, Lloga welcomed the decision. As he added, he expects the Court to act, ex officio, efficiently also on the other regulations where the constitutional deadline for publication in the Official Gazette was missed.
On 5 July, the Court temporarily stopped such certificates. Those citizens that obtained a certificate in that period of around 20 days when the Instructions were in force will need to request an annulment of the document on their own.
