The cause of extensive public procurement procedures, by the Kosovo Statistics Agency, says the deadline for population registration has been extended for two months.

KSF deputy chief chief Ilir Berisha said that although the deadline for registration was envisioned for September, all preparations have been made to begin this process by November.

According to him, the creation of municipal commissions in most municipalities, besides northern ones, enters into preparation.
