Donika Gërvalla, the Deputy Minister and Acting Minister of Justice and former National Coordinator against Domestic Violence, Violence Against Women, and Gender-Based Violence, convened a meeting with key institutional representatives. The gathering took place in response to the tragic murder of a pregnant woman in the village of Kërvasari, located in Malisheva. Following the incident, which involved the death of a 25-year-old woman, Minister Gërvalla assembled officials from the Kosovo Police, the Prosecutor’s Office, the Court, and the Social Work Center.
The primary objective of the meeting was to conduct a comprehensive review of the existing institutional mechanisms designed to address and prevent acts of violence. During the session, Gërvalla emphasized the gravity of the crime, stating that such cases necessitate a thorough pause and a full assessment of how institutional processes are functioning. She stressed the critical need to examine every facet of the response system to ensure that measures taken are adequate and preventative.
The discussion focused on strengthening inter-agency cooperation to better safeguard vulnerable populations. Representatives from various bodies were tasked with identifying procedural gaps and proposing actionable steps to enhance the protective framework surrounding women and families in the region. The meeting underscored a collective commitment to reinforcing legal and social safeguards to prevent similar instances of violence from occurring in the future.
