Sources: 12. Developments: 2. The Kosovo Police are undergoing various legal, administrative, and reformative processes. Following a Supreme Court ruling, the police are restricted from holding physical driver's licenses for more than eight days, though returning a license does not automatically reinstate driving privileges if a suspension is active. Internal oversight has also intensified. The Police Inspectorate (IPK) has recommended the suspension of the Kosovo Police Procurement Director following a preliminary investigation into suspected abuse of office and conflicts of interest regarding numerous public procurement contracts. In an effort to address past irregularities, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has reopened the promotion process for the rank of sergeant. This follows the annulment of a February 2024 competition due to allegations of favoritism and the premature distribution of exam materials. Minister Xhelal Sveçla stated the new merit-based process is essential for strengthening the force and encouraged increased participation from women. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-09: Kosovo Ministry of Internal Affairs reopens sergeant promotion process Kosovo's Minister of Internal Affairs has reopened the sergeant promotion process following the cancellation of a previous competition due to allegations of irregularities and favoritism. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kosovo-ministry-of-internal-affairs-reopens-sergeant-promotion-process ### 2026-11-05: Kosovo Police face multiple investigations and policy changes Kosovo authorities are managing a Supreme Court ruling on driver's licenses, a corruption probe into police procurement, and an investigation into unauthorized access to the Prishtina Mayor's bank account. 10 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kosovo-police-procurement-director-faces-suspension-recommendation --- Cite as: Kosovo Police administrative and legal developments.
