On July 14th, 2022, the Assembly of Kosovo passed the draft Law on the State Bureau for verification and confiscation of unjustified assets on the first reading. Right after, on March 4th, 2022, the Speaker of the Assembly requested an opinion from the Venice Commission (the Commission) with regard to its compliance with European and international standards. The Commission published its opinion on June 20, 2022, wherein it raised concerns on the draft’s compatibility with minimum human rights standards.[ Despite the good intentions of the law, the Commission highlighted the necessity to address certain shortcomings which infringe the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution of Kosovo and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), directly applicable in Kosovo.
