Paragraph 60
 

The Venice Commission also notes that the series of previous amendments has led to inconsistencies in the legal framework and introduced some provisions that are difficult to apply in practice and, thus, fail to be effective. Overall, the lack of public disclosure, comprehensive monitoring and effective enforcement of the rules seem to be the main concerns. In this regard, it must be stressed that effective reform of political financing in Kosovo is not only a question of adopting legislative texts, but also depends on the political will and the practical implementation of the provisions to create a truly transparent system and a level playing field for all political parties. It is crucial that any new regulations be construed in such a way that they can be effectively implemented.
