Although there is much research on the contract cheating phenomenon, there is very little research on the legal solutions available to address such problems and almost zero research on the contract cheating phenomenon specifically in Kosovo in the Western Balkan region. This article presents the current situation with regard to contract cheating in Kosovo and compares it to western countries, with the aim of identifying the best international practices for combating contract cheating. We also present the results of a study we conducted which suggest that the term “contract cheating” is not well defined in university legal documents, nor is there a consistent understanding of what constitutes contract cheating. Consequently, the perpetrators are not being punished. Results from our online survey also show that 5% to 20% of students use contract cheating services, and they are paying an estimated fee of between 100 and 200 euros and in some cases, more than 250 euros.

解决科索沃和国际惯例中的合同欺诈

尽管对合同欺诈现象的研究很多，但针对解决此类问题的法律解决方案的研究却很少，而专门针对巴尔干地区西部科索沃的合同欺诈现象的研究则几乎为零。本文介绍了科索沃合同作弊的现状，并将其与西方国家进行了比较，目的是确定打击合同作弊的最佳国际惯例。我们还介绍了我们进行的一项研究的结果，该研究表明，大学法律文件中对“合同作弊”一词的定义不明确，对于构成合同作弊的内容也没有一致的理解。因此，肇事者不会受到惩罚。
