In this case, KDI Executive Director Ismet Kryeziu stressed that this year, KDI with her activities, I'm going to put the average citizen first.

Part of our daily work is giving free legal advice to citizens who want to report corruption, corruption signals and corruption witnesses. For three years working on giving legal advice, we have accepted over 300 different corruption cases”, he added.
This month, KDI will publish reports about the quality of procurement in government institutions, which are also among the biggest providers of public money, such as the Ministry of Infrastructure, the Health Ministry and the Central Procure Authority. Under that, an analysis of the government's decision to allocate 53m euros as the company's penalty “Bechtel & Enka” will be revealed, as well as another analysis of impunity in public procurement.
It has also revealed that KDI will handle financing of political subjects in time of electoral campaigns this month, more precisely through legal analysis, promoting new transparency standards in election campaigns, standards used even in EU countries.
