The British Chamber of Commerce in Kosovo has called for urgent institutional intervention in the country’s mining sector, warning that recent developments have created legal uncertainty and posed serious challenges for industry stakeholders.
In a public statement shared on Facebook, the Chamber stressed that restoring legal certainty, reinforcing investor confidence, and safeguarding regulatory credibility are critical priorities for Kosovo’s mining industry. The organisation noted that recent issues surrounding the functioning of the Independent Commission for Mines and Minerals have disrupted licensing procedures, delayed compliance with statutory deadlines, and undermined the overall stability of the investment environment.
According to the Chamber, predictable and timely decision-making, equal treatment of private and public enterprises, and strict adherence to the existing legal framework are essential to maintaining Kosovo’s competitiveness in mineral exploration and development.
The statement concludes that resolving these institutional and regulatory concerns is vital to preserving the long-term stability and strategic development of Kosovo’s mining sector.
