What it makes you log
Logging duty
Article 232 (read in full) and the Article 225(8) definition it uses create the child pornography offences; no clause names a log, record or audit trail, or requires demonstrating, proving or producing anything. The Code's general territorial-application rules (Neni 107-108) are a different, general-part provision.

What this law does
Article 232 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kosovo (Code No. 06/L-074, in force since ) criminalizes producing child pornography, using or involving a child in creating a live sexual exhibition, by five to fifteen years' imprisonment; distributing or making it available, by three to ten years; and procuring or possessing it, by a fine and one to five years, with an attempt punishable in every case.
Article 225(8), the chapter's own definitions provision, defines "child pornography" to include any photograph, film, video, image or picture created by computer, whether created electronically, mechanically or by other means. That definition expressly extends to realistic images of a non-existent child engaged in real or simulated sexually explicit conduct, so a wholly synthetic depiction with no real child involved falls within the prohibition on the same terms as an image of a real child.
