Summary/Abstract: Three constitutions determined the power of state authorities, state institutions, its political and judicial status and its inner developments during half of a Century. Consequently judicial review was developed based on these three constitutions. These constitutions were adopted in different socio-political circumstances: the first one equalized position of Kosovo within the federation; the second one was a basis of a unique system – parallel system during the dissolution of federation and the third one served as a basis for creating the state of Kosovo. In the same way the judicial review was developed, since these constitutions regulated the issues of judicial courts and the judicial review. The author of this paper, using the method of political analysis, method of legal analysis, method of historical analysis, etc., analyzes Kosovo constitutions, circumstances on which these constitutions were adopted and judicial courts and their historical role of Kosovo development.
