Prime Minister by designation, Albin Kurti, announced plans for the complete modernization of Kosovo’s inspection system. Speaking during the presentation of the annual report for 2025 inspections, Kurti detailed a significant overhaul of regulatory enforcement mechanisms. The core of the reform involves shifting the inspection model to a risk-based framework, meaning that the level of scrutiny applied to businesses will be determined by their assessed risk profile.
Furthermore, the system will implement stricter penalties for repeat offenders, which may include substantial fines and potential criminal charges. Kurti emphasized that these systemic changes aim not only for the modernization of processes but also for increasing the operational capacity of inspectorates at both the central and local levels. He reiterated that the overarching legal mandate guiding these reforms remains the robust protection of the public interest, encompassing public health, safety, and environmental standards.
A key component of this reform is the adoption of a new, tiered approach to oversight. By establishing risk levels, the updated inspection protocols seek to ensure that enforcement resources are allocated efficiently, thereby strengthening regulatory oversight across the nation. These measures represent a concerted effort to overhaul the existing framework into a more proactive and rigorous system.
