Political party finance audit report handed over to Parliament, discussion expected

The audience selected by the Kosovo Assembly has already concluded the report on the auditing of political parties.

The report has been submitted to the Assembly, but a commission must make its admission and hand over the Public Finance Commission, KTV reports.

10 different audiences were selected to perform this work within 45 days.

Since law change and over the past four years, no institution has controlled political parties' finances.

The audit, however, does not include financial reports of the last national and local elections.

It includes only reports from 2013 to 2016.

KTV finds out that actually the report's findings are completely technical.

The Venice Commission on the issue has recommended that the states do auditing by a body, which has no conflict of interest with political parties.

The audience report will be released on the CEC website within 10 days after it is reviewed in the Assembly.

The current demand for control of the way political parties are financed and money is being financed because of international community pressure.
