Political parties fail to publish their expenditures for the electoral campaign

Democracy Plus (D+) has published the successive infographic which measures the level of functionalization, maintenance and update of official party websites of the major political entities in Kosovo. In general, compared to the preceding infographic from six months ago, there is an evident positive trend in terms of the functionalization of party web pages.

However, the fact that none of the political entities have published their financial reports on expenditures incurred during the national election campaign in June of this year, remains worrisome. Regular spending reports until 2016 have only been published by AAK and LDK, while Nisma and Vetëvendosje have only published them until 2015. PDK on the other hand, has not published any financial report on its official webpage.

D+ calls on all political entities to publish financial reports of expenditures incurred in the recent election campaign, as well as their regular financial reports because financial transparency is the only way to restore the credibility of citizens in political parties.
