Kërkesat

Kërkesat is the plural form of kërkesa in Albanian and has at least two related meanings. It can denote formal requests or applications addressed to authorities, public bodies, or private organizations. It can also mean requirements or prerequisites that must be met to access a service, participate in a program, or comply with a rule. In many contexts, the phrase serves as a general label for both petitions and listed conditions.

In administrative and legal contexts, një kërkesë is a formal petition or application seeking a decision, service, information, or rights. In everyday language, it is used for requests such as a building permit, access to records, social benefits, or other official processes. In procurement or program terms, kërkesat can also describe the criteria or documents required to qualify for participation.

A typical kërkesë should be clear and structured. It usually includes the applicant’s name and contact information, a precise description of the request or requirement, justification or relevant background, supporting documents, any deadlines, and the date and signature. With the growth of digital services, many institutions accept electronic submissions and provide guidance on required formats and attachments.

Processing of kërkesat involves assessment by the appropriate authority or organization, which issues a decision, condition, or list of missing items. Applicants may receive notices, be given a timeframe for follow-up, and, if needed, appeal or request a review in accordance with applicable procedures and rights to information and privacy protections.

Etymologically, the word derives from the verb kërkoj, to seek or request.
