Millaku said the number of inspectors is small, compared to the large number of businesses. According to him, the law has determined the degree of fines, and inspectors have the right to pronounce them when they face rights violations.
We have 35 inspectors currently exercising supervision of law enforcement throughout the territory of Kosovo. Of the 35 inspectors, 8 of us have Serbs, 27 others are from the Albanian community.

When there are cases of work injuries and elements of criminal acts, then the report sent to the prosecutor and the prosecutor is to decide whether to proceed further”.
Workers ' rights are violated from the start of work to the completion of work.
We have the main problem, because the largest number of accidents has resulted from construction. But it doesn't mean that we don't have a potential risk in other activities, even in production, whether trade or transport that doesn't rule out the possibility of accidents”.
“From Government we seek greater support and have a good aim in understanding of assistance in consolidating the overall labour inspectorate”, he said. /EO
