The Venice Commission is pleased that the Government of Kosovo has submitted this first request for a legal opinion, four years after Kosovo became a full member of the Commission in 2014. The rapporteurs gained the clear impression during their visit to Pristina that the regulation of political financing is considered both by the Government and by domestic and international stakeholders as an important part of the country’s fight against corruption and that it is intended to be further reformed as a matter of priority, with a focus on ensuring effective implementation and enforcement of the already existing rules.
