He has particularly called on women and girls to apply for this degree, stressing the importance of their representation and empowerment within the Kosovo Police.
I especially encourage women and girls to apply and seize opportunities for professional advancement, contributing even more to the representation and empowerment of women in the Kosovo Police, the minister has declared.
After Dukagjin reporting, promotion competition cancelled for sergeant
The announcement of this process comes after the annulment of the previous sergeant-grade competition announced on February 12th 2024, following concerns and complaints concerning its regularity.
Dukagjini had reported since May 2024 on allegations of irregularities in the process, including claims of possible favourability and distribution of the test of a group of candidates prior to previous times.
Following the candidate reports and complaints, the Kosovo Police Inspectorate had conducted an extraordinary inspection, while Kosovo Police had decided to cancel the competition, pledging that it would take into account IPK recommendations.
In the inspection report, The IPK had enumerated weaknesses in the competition phase and provided eight recommendations for improving the process. Among other things, it had called for harmonisation of the legal base, clarifying application criteria, verifying candidate conditions, and improving technical and administrative preparations.
