The proceedings regarding the lawsuit filed by Slovakia against the mandatory migrant resettlement quotas among EU-member countries will be lengthened. European Court of Justice President Koen Lenaerts announced this at an international conference entitled The Limits of a Transparent Judiciary held in Bratislava by the Supreme Court on Thursday. "I expect that the verdict could be reached sometime in the summer of next year," said the president. The Slovak lawsuit was registered at the Luxembourg-based court on December 3, 2015. Slovakia's side in the dispute was later joined by Poland, with the Hungarian Government filing a similar lawsuit. The Council of the EU, which opposes the lawsuit, has seen support from almost a dozen countries, said Lenaerts.
