Dear Mrs. Rafuna,Thank you for your e-mail with the questions regarding KIJAC.Please find our answers below:1) The Ministry has been informed about the situation surrounding KIJAC since the beginning ofthis year. The Ministry takes very seriously the allegations of financial misconduct and theconfirmation that KIJAC lack the necessary accreditation from Kosovo’s authorities for theschool’s curriculum. Therefore, the Ministry has initiated its own investigation into thoseallegations in order to get the facts on the table. This process is still ongoing so at the moment itis too early to draw any conclusions. We nevertheless hope to have finalized our investigationsoon.2) The activities at KIJAC have ceased to exist and there is a possibility that the KIJAC institution willbe terminated. But the Ministry have made an agreement with the American University inKosovo (AUK) so that the remaining students from KIJAC can take their final exams at AUK. Theremaining students from KIJAC are currently studying at AUK.3) When we know the facts about the situation at KIJAC from our investigations, the Ministry willdecide on what steps it shall take next.
