Gervalla: The Bureau for Unjustified Wealth Will Become a Reality

Acting Minister of Justice Donika Gervalla has stated that the State Bureau for the Verification and Confiscation of Unjustified Wealth will become a reality, describing it as a necessary mechanism for strengthening the rule of law and institutional integrity.

She announced that the close of the public consultation on the Draft Law marks an important stage in this process.

“The State Bureau for the Verification and Confiscation of Unjustified Wealth will be established, because there is no other path for a state that seeks justice, equality before the law, and institutional integrity,” she said.

Gervalla expressed gratitude to citizens, experts, civil society organizations, and justice institutions for their contribution during the public consultation phase.

“Today marks the end of the public consultation period for the Draft Law on the Bureau. We thank all citizens, experts, civil society organizations, and justice institutions that contributed comments, suggestions, and remarks during this process,” Gervalla said.

According to her, every comment received will be reviewed with seriousness and responsibility.

“Not a single comment received will remain unaddressed or unanswered. Every contribution will be reviewed with seriousness and responsibility, with the aim of having a law that is as complete, functional, and sustainable as possible,” she said.

She underlined that the establishment of the Bureau is a commitment to strengthening the rule of law and protecting the public interest.

“Unjustified wealth, created on the backs, toil, and sweat of the citizens of the Republic, cannot remain untouched. It must be verified, confiscated when it cannot be justified with lawful sources, and returned to the citizens to whom it belongs,” she declared.

Gervalla added that in the Republic of Kosovo, no one is above the law and that unjustified wealth cannot go unpunished.
