Kosovo applies again to ECAR, following exemption for political interference

It will be understood whether Kosovo will continue to be part of this association, which is still under consideration, KTV reports.

After the latter's assessment, the answer will come from the European Register for the Security of Quality in the ECAR Higher Education, where Kosovo has reapplied for membership in October.

The chairman of the Board of Accreditation Agency, Gazmend Luboten, has stated that the key condition to reapplied in ECAR has been institutional independence.

ECAR had exempted Kosovo from membership last year, when Education Minister Shyqi Bytyqi, at the request of Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, had dismissed members of the AKA board, calling it political interference in the agency.

In an answer to KTV, the ECAR office has confirmed that Kosovo has applied again.

According to officials from this institution, after the visit to Kosovo, the panel of experts will issue a report under which ECAR will find out whether the Agency of Discension has met the conditions for registration.

On the other hand, the non-recognition of some university programmes by the Agency of Discension is continuing to be rejected.

Public university reactors, on the other hand, are continuing the strike.

But the reactor's request for the Ministry of Education to be dismissed is not taking into account at all.

Public universities have been on strike since the beginning of the week.
