Kosovo Prime Minister Kurti Praises Initial Review of Asset Confiscation Law
PRISTINA – Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, has welcomed the initial review of the Draft Law on State Registers for the Verification and Confiscation of Unjustified Assets, describing it as a crucial step toward justice and the rule of law within the nation. Kurti highlighted the necessity of establishing the registry and reiterated his intention to pursue its approval in a second reading of parliament. “The first review of the Draft Law on State Registers undoubtedly represents good news for our country and justice,” Kurti stated.
“For the Registry to be established and to begin working, it is necessary for this law to be approved in a second reading.”
The draft law, which aims to identify and seize assets believed to be obtained illicitly, has faced significant opposition. Kurti acknowledged this resistance while emphasizing the importance of the registry’s operationalization. He believes the process is vital for upholding legal standards and combating corruption.
The government intends to move forward with the law’s consideration, seeking parliamentary approval to formally establish the State Registers and initiate the process of verification and potential confiscation of unjustified assets. This draft law represents a key element in the government’s strategy for strengthening governance and ensuring accountability.
