This thesis's topic sheds light on the confiscation of unjustified wealth and legal alternatives in
relation to confiscation. It considers the arguments for and against different confiscation regimes
to accelerate the fight against corruption and strengthen the Rule of Law in the Republic of
Kosovo. This study's overarching objective is the need for further research in confiscation laws
and possible reforms of Kosovo's legal and institutional framework in compliance with the
European Laws.
The Republic of Kosovo faces many hurdles to detect and prosecute illicit wealth gaining of its
officials mainly engaged in corrupt activities. The overnight unjust enrichment of people with
charming houses, luxury holidays, extravagant cars suspiciously gained, without being able to
explain and not reasonably equivalent to their incomes, has been a big concern for the Kosovar
society over decades. To dispense these disturbances, proper confiscation regimes and not
necessarily equitable are needed to be set in place. We will see that fair regimes of confiscation
are not always effective and that new approaches and methods, even if seen as unfair, shall be
considered.
Organised crime and corruption have halted Kosovo's progress toward EU integration and the
livelihood of the Kosovars. To stump down organised crime and fight corruption for a better
quality of life, it is more than necessary an effective regime of confiscation, which would hamper
the continuity of criminal activities and reinforce the Rule of Law. Although a lot of work has been
done on this issue, more is to be done on the strategic and institutional framework in compliance
with European Law.
