On February 26–27, 2025, the Kosovo Accreditation Agency (KAA) organized a workshop where the Regulation on General Procedures was drafted and discussed, and the review of the Code of Ethics was examined.

The purpose of the Regulation on General Procedures is to ensure the regulation and standardization of all procedures related to KAA processes for higher education institutions and their programs in the Republic of Kosovo, in alignment with the highest international quality assurance standards.

This regulation aims to establish a clear and transparent framework for accreditation processes, promote continuous quality improvement in higher education institutions, and ensure a high level of trust and credibility for accredited institutions both domestically and internationally.

The regulation will be submitted for public discussion next week.

During the workshop, the Code of Ethics for KAA staff was also reviewed. While based on the Kosovo Civil Service Code, the revised Code of Ethics will incorporate specific provisions relevant to the KAA.

The Code will define standards of integrity, rules of conduct, and professional ethics that civil service employees at KAA must adhere to in the execution of administrative and public functions.

The key principles of this Code will include legality, non-discrimination, loyalty and impartiality, effectiveness and efficiency, accountability, confidentiality, transparency, and equality.
