The Constitutional Court is expected to issue a ruling on the “Balluku” case this Tuesday. The eight judges of the Constitutional Court will gather in the Deliberation Chamber, in a session that will be chaired by President Fiona Papajorgji.
This is the second time the panel of judges has met in the deliberation room on this matter. In the first meeting, last Tuesday, the judges failed to reach a final decision, requesting more time for consideration.
Today, the Constitutional Court is expected to issue a decision, with the main point related to the legality of the measure of suspension from government duties of Belinda Balluku, a decision previously taken by the Special Court (GJKKO).
This session comes after the postponement of the January 27 meeting, where the government's appeal against the GJKKO decision was reviewed, but without producing a final decision.
The Constitutional Court's decision is awaited with interest as it will directly affect the actions of the Mandates Council. The latter postponed the meeting scheduled for Wednesday, where SPAK's request to lift Belinda Balluku's immunity would have been reviewed, pending the Constitutional Court's decision.
The issue has attracted widespread public and institutional attention, as it is the first time that a minister has been suspended following a request from SPAK, placing the case at the center of legal and political debates.
The government has asked the Constitutional Court to interpret Article 103 of the Constitution, which provides that members of the government enjoy parliamentary immunity. According to the government, the Special Court cannot suspend a minister without authorization from the Prime Minister.
On the other hand, SPAK prosecutors, Dritan Prençi and Dorina Bejko, have opposed this position, emphasizing that the suspension of a minister is not the competence of the Prime Minister and that there is no conflict of competence between the powers.
The eight judges of the Constitutional Court are also expected to clarify whether there was any interference by the judicial branch in the executive branch and whether a minister enjoys the same legal immunity as a member of parliament.
We recall that in December 2025, the Constitutional Court decided by majority vote to reinstate Belinda Balluku as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, nullifying the security measure of "suspension from duty" previously granted by the Special Court.
According to the Constitutional Court, the continuation of this measure risked having consequences that affect state interests and the exercise of the constitutional powers of the executive branch in determining general state policies.
