Findings of the assessment report presented

How transparent is the Kosovo government?

Within Riinvest Institute’s offices, were presented the findings of the assessment study report: “How transparent is the Kosovo government? – Results from measuring open governance. This study was conducted by monitoring 28 web-pages of central level institutions, including here 19 ministries, Prime Minister’s Office, and the 8 political parties in the Assembly.

The media conference was declared open by Dita Dobranja, researcher at Riinvest Institute, which on her opening remarks thanked the participants, and presented the aim of the study report, which is the assessment of pro-active transparency in the central level.

Meanwhile, Antigona Uka, presented the findings of the study report. According to her, the findings present the legal framework within the public institutions. Further, she added that regarding three main pillars that drive open governance, which are: 1. transparency, 2. participation and commitment, 3. control and supervision; the legal framework seems very well established. Uka added that according to the institute “Right to Information Rating (RTI)”, which measures the legal performancë of countries, Kosovo is ranked in the 21th place from 111 countries. She also added that even though the legal framework is very well established, in practice it leaves much to be desired. In conclusion, she declared that in order for the legal framework to be matched with practice implementation, each ministry should publish budgetary, operational, public procurement and organizational information in accessible media platforms, such as institutional web-pages

The conference was closed with a public discussion. This his publication is a result of the project “Advocacy for Open Government”, a two year project, supported by the European Union, and led by PASOS network (Policy Association for an Open Society), which is being applied in six Western Balkan countries: Kosovo, Albania, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia and Serbia.
