The Justice Appointments Council will convene on Monday to choose the candidates for the Constitutional Court, which according to procedure will then need the approval of the President of the Republic.
Candidates aiming to fill in the remaining vacant spots are Aleksandër Toma and Përparim Kalo, while some other candidates were disqualified as they did not fulfil the legal conditions.
