About this statute

This provision is the preamble to a law on civil defamation and insult in Kosovo. This provision states the law’s purpose: to regulate civil liability for defamation and insult while protecting freedom of expression and providing effective compensation for harmed reputation. This provision says the law should be interpreted to maximize freedom of expression and to align with the European Convention on Human Rights and the European Court of Human Rights’ case-law. This article defines key terms used in the law, including defamation, insult, publication, publisher, author, editor, child, person, public authority, public official, and matters of public interest. A person may ask a court to stop defamation or insult, require withdrawal and non-repetition, and seek moral and material damages, unless a liability exception applies.
