Rifaj has been banned from approaching the inspector and his office in Prizren at a distance of less than 50m.

The founding court in Prizren has assigned the lawyer Ardit Refaj the safeguard clause to approach the country or the designated person, after allegedly obstructing and physically assaulting a municipal inspector during the official duty.

The Act was issued on November 4th, 2026, following the request of the Basic Prosecutor in Prizren. Rifaj is suspected of obstructing the official person in performing official duties.

What happened at the offices of the Communist Inspectorate?

According to the court file, the event took place on November 3, 2026, about 8:50, at the Communist Inspectorate Directorate’s facilities in Prizren.

Construction inspectors Dritmir Muji and Arian Taraku had requested law enforcement and the establishment of ban strips at a construction facility, whose case is being handled by justice organs.

According to the file description, Rifaj was unhappy with the inspectors’ actions and addressed Dritmir Muji in a high tone, saying:

You know what kind of lawyer I am, and you know you’re gonna need to work.

The situation, according to the court, has escalated when the inspector stood up and asked Rifate to leave the office.

At that moment, Rifaj allegedly rushed to the inspector saying:

Stay here, because you don’t know who I am and what I can do, is going to be put in jail.

Then, according to the file, he caught the inspector for the jacket and picked him up.

At the same time, he is allegedly severely offended and threatened with the words:

You’ve had business with me my whole life.

Efforts to attack the inspector, said in the file, have continued in the building’s corridor until his departure from the building.

Security Measure Worth a Month

Approving the application of the Constitutional Prosecutor in Prizren, the court has assigned Rifaj the safeguard clause to approach the country or the person appointed for a month.

The move is set for the period from 3 November to 3 December 2026.

According to this decision, the lawyer is forbidden to approach the injured Dritmir Muji, as well as his office in Prizren, at a distance of less than 50 metres.

 Rifaj’s father was involved in an incident during the Vranish protest

Ardit Rifaj is the son of Lulzim Rifaj, former Kosovo consul in Sofia, Bulgaria.

His name was reported years ago in connection with an incident during protests against the construction of a hydropower plant in Vranishh, Dragas.

During the protest of residents against construction of hydro-power plants by the company ‘%Eurokos), the former Kosovo diplomat was involved in a clash between protesters and company officials.

At the time, Lulzim Rifaj had been seen carrying a heavy tool in his hands, the moment the situation had slipped into violence.

His other son, Ardit Rifaj’s brother, who at the time held the position of coordinator in the construction company, was involved.
