EU in Kosovo helps fight corruption, supporting the public information efforts of the Anti-Corruption Agency
The Anti-Corruption Agency, supported by the European Union in Kosovo, has launched a public information campaign promoting its role in controlling the declaration of assets by officials, preventing conflicts of interest, and investigating whistleblowing reports. The campaign, dubbed “for a corruption-free Kosovo”, calls on the public to report corruption and is being launched following the adoption of new laws that strengthen the mandate of the Agency, giving it additional powers and tasks, including direct sanctioning of officials and corruption-proofing of legislation.
With the support of the European Union in Kosovo, the campaign will include five videos and a brochure providing information about the mandate of the Agency, ways the public can report corruption, and the fines and sanctions officials and institutions may face if not respecting the law. The EU in Kosovo is working with both legislative and executive institutions to help align Kosovo laws and practices with those of the EU as part of the EU integration process.
