Paragraph 59

The Venice Commission notes that the question of which body should in the future be competent for financial oversight has been discussed in depth in the consultation process and a number of alternative options have been considered. It acknowledges that it is up to Kosovo to decide which body should be entrusted with such functions. In the view of the Commission, the redistribution of functions and the establishment of the new Office are welcome developments – provided that the role of this body is clearly defined and that it is granted a satisfactory degree of independence and adequate financial and personnel resources.
