BIRN Kosovo strongly opposes the current content of the Draft-Law on Interception

Posted on

The Ministry of European Integration has recently proposed a draft law on interception. 

The Balkan Investigative Reporting Network strongly opposes the current content of the Draft-Law on Interception of Electronic Communication because the draft law does not have a clear purpose, it grants access to telephone calls and messaging to an unlimited number of institutions, contrary to the practice in democratic countries, authorizes the Kosovo Intelligence Agency to perform vetting of operators’ staff members, although this does not fall under KIA’s competencies and does not regulate the approach to interceptions and allows for different interpretations.
