Apostolova with KSHC members seeks no political interference in the work of independent agencies

Their vow, Apostolvoa, is impressive.

The European Union expresses regret over the reactions of some public university heads against the Agency's independent decisions. Such decisions have yet to be finalised, and some of them may be further reviewed by the Ankes Commission. Never should political interference in the work of independent agencies. It was the intervention of authorities that resulted in the expulsion of AAK from the European Quality Security Register and has questioned its membership in the European Association for the Security of Quality in Higher Education. This has serious consequences for Kosovo students, damaging their ability to attend studies or to seek work abroad”, Apostolova has said.

“The EU over the years has invested a lot in education reforms in Kosovo, politically and financially, to help secure quality education for Kosovo youth. Determining Kosovo's Accreditation Agency to implement this in practice is an encouragement for the European Union to increase engagement in this sector”, the Apostolova statement said.

On the other hand, the chief of the EU office has called on Kosovo authorities and political parties “to fully support our continued work of reforms in education. Kosovo's Accreditation Agency and their work to ensure quality education for their young citizens is also crucial and requires political support”.
