Since the beginning of the year 2,626 cases have been received,
while 2.567 were received last year.
The biggest growth is marked by complaints of which there are 2,375
this year, while last year there were 1,910.
The large number of complaints before the Constitutional Court is
the court's new authority to obligatorily make decisions on
constitutional complaints filed due to lengthy court processes,
where it could set fines as a punishment.
Last year, when the court would decide whether to or not solve a
complaint for lengthy proceedings, 42 such complaints were filed,
which this year, the number has risen to 334.
This year the Constitutional Court has solved 1,600 cases. Court
officials estimate that the number of solved cases would exceed
last year's 1,904.
