Kosovo market surveillance and consumer protection

Overview

Kosovo authorities have initiated an inspection campaign targeting bakeries to verify the weight of bread and the accuracy of scales used by operators. This action by the Metrology Agency of Kosovo (AMK) and the Central Inspectorate of Market Surveillance (IQMT) follows consumer complaints regarding discrepancies between declared and actual weights.

Starting in the Pristina region, the inspections aim to ensure compliance with consumer protection laws. Under these regulations, weight discrepancies are classified as consumer fraud, carrying fines between 1,000 and 10,000 euros, while the use of unregulated measuring tools may result in fines of 500 to 1,500 euros for legal entities.
