The Labour Inspectorate has begun the year with the severity of measures against violators of the Labour Law.

In this two-month period alone, the Labour Inspectorate has pronounced over 200 fines, including the private sector and public institutions.

In a proposal for Radio Kosovo, Chief Inspector Ibrahimi said that “have hardened security measures, while in this two-month period alone over 200 fines” have been pronounced.
