For the first time since its establishment, the Kosovo Accreditation Agency (KAA) is regulated by its own law.
On June 7th, 2023, the Law on the Kosovo Accreditation Agency was voted in the Assembly of Kosovo.

This Law was approved after a long and dedicated work of the MESTI working groups, the Parliamentary Committee on Education of the Assembly of Kosovo, as well as thanks to the political will to support the independence of the KAA.
The President of the State Council of Quality (SCQ), Professor Hasnije Ilazi and the General Director of the Kosovo Accreditation Agency (KAA), Naim Gashi, who have participated in numerous working group meetings, have welcomed the adoption of the Law on KAA.
