From October 15-18, representatives from the Home Affairs Program of the European Union in Kosovo (HAPE) and Specialized Data Protection Expert Guilhem Giraud met with Ms. Lule Isufi, Acting Director of the Kosovo Institute of Public Administration (KIPA), alongside 16 Data Protection Officers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) and Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs). The purpose of the visit was to assess the current state of data protection practices and identify key training needs for MIA officials. This initiative is part of HAPE’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the capacities of Kosovo’s public administration, helping them align with the EU’s standards on data protection under Chapter 24 of the EU Acquis. Together, we are working towards enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of Kosovo’s data protection framework and ensuring greater compliance with European Union standards.
