The Financial Intelligence Centre is mandated to combat money laundering and terrorism financing in Kosovo. The Centre has been established pursuant to the provisions of UNMIK Regulation No. 2004/2 as amended, “On the deterrence of money laundering and related criminal offences” promulgated on February 6th, 2004.

The establishment of the Financial Intelligence Centre is directed at enhancing law enforcement capacities, particularly in information gathering and analysis, aimed at deterring money laundering, terrorist financing and related criminal offences through greater transparency in financial transactions.

The Financial Intelligence Centre will receive and analyse the required reports, ensure compliance, and cooperate with its international counterparts and law enforcement agencies in tracing illicit money outside and inside of Kosovo.
