Minister Shala, also a consumer protection decision, is inaugurated radar calibration labs and alcoholmeters

Minister Shala said Kosovo Police equipment will be calibrated to state institutions from now on. In view of the importance of security in communications, the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Kosovo Metrology Agency have completed the equipment of two labs to verify speed measures and alcoholmeters, both of these devices that Kosovo Police are serving will be calibrated at the Kosovo Metrology Agency. The country's citizens make sure that from now on these devices will be calibrated in the Republic of Kosovo”, Minister Shala said. He made it known that this is also an action within consumer protection, and already the Kosovo Police will be even more precise because the tools used by them will be calibrated. “With this action, we are witnessing political and institutional readiness today once again for establishing the level of implementation of the Law, in the function of increasing security on the streets of the Republic of Kosovo, and also for increasing transparency and responsibility to all drivers in the Republic of Kosovo”, the minister said.

While head of the Metrology Agency Ferki Feyza said these two labs affect the daily work of police, and increase the credibility of measurements even in judicial disputes. Because the measurements performed by the Metrology Agency are professional and are sophisticated labs that are complete with modern infrastructure”, Fyza said. And Kosovo Police Director Reshat Qalaj said police will now use state institutions for calibration of their labour means. We're also working with calibrated and tested instruments in the past, but we've used the services of private contracted operators. Now we will perform these services in state institutions and certainly at a much cheaper cost”, Qalaj said.
