komisjoni

Komisjoni is the Albanian term for a formal body established to perform a defined mandate, such as oversight, investigation, regulation, or administration. In Albanian-speaking contexts it denotes a broad range of institutions, from parliamentary committees and government agencies to independent regulators and international bodies identified by their function as commissions. The term is borrowed from the broader European concept of a commission and appears in various forms in related languages.

Common types of Komisjoni include parliamentary commissions that examine legislation or conduct inquiries, regulatory commissions that oversee sectors such as finance, energy, or communications, and investigative commissions formed to study a specific issue. Internationally, the term is used for bodies like the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, which in Albanian is called Komisioni Evropian; national variants exist in many countries under similar names.

The authority and duties of a Komisjoni are defined by law or a formal charter. Typical features include a defined mandate, an appointed chair and members, a staff or secretariat, and procedures for hearings, reporting, and decision-making. Some commissions issue binding rules or licences; others provide non-binding recommendations or conduct oversight and inquiry.

Independence and resources influence effectiveness. In well-functioning systems, a Komisjoni operates with transparency, formal accountability mechanisms, and avenues for appeal or judicial review. The term thus covers a spectrum of bodies designed to supervise, regulate, investigate, or administer public and, in some cases, private affairs.
