Organising local elections in Kosovo is expected to cost the country's budget no less than 10m euros, including the run-off as few mayors likely to be elected in the first round.
Organising local elections, which are expected to be held on 22 October this year, is expected to cost the state budget at least 6m euros. That is how Central Election Commission officials have announced (KQZ), who have said that the exact cost could become known by the end of the process.
Meanwhile, considering that in past elections of 38 municipalities 25 had gone to the runoff, the cost of the elections could total the 10m-euro figure. On the other hand, civil society representatives consider that other than the state budget parties are financed in illegal ways during campaigns.
