Challenges of Public Enforcement of Competition Law in KosovoMucaj, Avdylkader (Avtor) Vlahek, Ana (Mentor) EU lawcompetitionenforcement challengesKosovoThe primary purpose of and motivation for this research was examination of the main challenges that hindered the effective enforcement of competition law in Kosovo, for the period 2009–2013. In particular, the research was primarily focused on detailed analysis of the work of the Authority during the 2009-2013 period and the courts involved in the competition law enforcement chain during the period 2010-2018. The work of the Authority and of the courts has been analyzed through detailed examination of their rulings as well as case files. This analysis has been done in the light of their respective institutional mandates, the relevant legal provisions in force in Kosovo, EU case law, and the academic literature. The findings of the research suggest that the approach of the Authority and the courts in relation to the enforcement of competition law should be urgently changed, facilitated by the necessary legislative amendments. Since the research has on the one hand highlighted the main challenges that have characterized the work of the aforementioned institutions, and on the other provided grounded arguments and clear recommendations for overcoming these challenges, it is hoped that the main goal of this research will be fulfilled. That goal is the advocacy of the effective enforcement of competition law in Kosovo.20202020-05-06 09:00:03Doktorsko delo/naloga115995sl
