The joint action resulted in the inspection of 123 economic entities, namely 73 economic operators who carry out commercial activities - body maintenance activities (massage centers) and 50 economic operators who carry out commercial activities - other entertainment and recreation activities (night music).
Inspectors of the Central Inspectorate of Market Surveillance, in accordance with their legal competences, have temporarily closed 12 economic operators throughout the territory of the Republic of Kosovo, due to non-registration of businesses, as well as the lack of consent/decision to meet the minimum technical conditions.
