(8 years ago)Organization stand up! Today, he has held a media conference regarding the financing of political parties, while telling them that the way political parties in Kosovo have financed since the establishment of institutions has been conveyed with numerous problems and defects, which have caused the process to remain uncontrolled and managed properly. [...]
Get up points out that funding, while regulated by the 2010 law, and amended and completed in 2012 and 2013, shows many legal problems and gaps that are making this law unmet and unsuccessful in regulating political parties' financing.
However the legal structure defines a certain model of funding, recognizes possible categories of financing, and also defines disciplinary measures against lack of transparency, the Law for Financing Political Subjects remains among the most unmet laws at the country level”, the statement said.
According to this organization, although the law has in some cases envisioned measures for preventing customer reports, it is never mentioned in the audience reports as found.
“In the audience's reports on political subjects for 2013-2016 published by the CEC, notes the same trend of financing from external donations. Besides in the new reports some of the political subjects declare huge value of donations to contributions to goods and services, but these donations are very unclearly declared.
The first reports published by the CEC were not presented personal numbers of people who have donated donations to political parties, which have made it impossible for arise to identify donors and investigate their ties with businesses for the past few years. Now the CEC has published as correcting these reports, including personal numbers. The Qrei organisation will continue with the identification of clientistic connections in donor-party reports for these years, even”.
Since the legal measures thus far have not prevented possible clientistic reports between political subjects and businesses, Getra considers it necessary that financing from legal subjects that have contractual relations with public institutions be fully banned.
Another flaw that has not been addressed so far is the lack of transparency of resources and spending on election campaigns by candidates.
During election campaigns, candidates from political parties usually carry out individual campaigns at enormous costs that they never declare.
Hira considers that individual candidate spending should be declared in the financial mirrors of political subjects.
