Inspectorate Suspends Operations of Nine Stone Crushers Without Documentation

The activity of nine stone crushers has been halted following an intervention by the Inspectorate of the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning, because they were operating without the necessary documentation and in violation of the law.

According to published data, seven of these crushers were operating in Suharekë, while two others were operating in Skenderaj.

The intervention was confirmed by the Government of Kosovo, which announced that work at all nine illegal stone crushers has been stopped due to the lack of relevant documentation.

The Minister of Environment and Spatial Planning, Fitore Pacolli, said the action was taken after the files of more than 200 stone crushers were reviewed.

Pacolli warned that inspections and field actions will continue, and any entity caught operating outside the law will face measures.

She stressed that entities operating without the necessary permits and documentation, thereby damaging the environment, will not be tolerated.
