The international team - in response to the announcement of the early elections - prepared a procedure and set of requirements for the openness of pre-election campaign funding and sent to 39 political parties and movements in Kosovo a request to make resources, budgets, and pre-election campaign spending more transparent. The activities proved to be effective. There has been a certain reaction from the parties, allowing civil society in Kosovo to have a first look at the spending of political parties during the campaign. This happened at the joint press conference of KDI and TI-CR in Pristina on June 2, 2017 at TI Kosovo headquarters, where both KDI director Ismet Kryeziu and TI-CR director David Ondráčka made their presentations. Results and procedures will be used in autumn during the campaign before the local elections, when the joint team will start independent monitoring again.

The conference was preceded by joint working groups, in which the Czech representatives of TI handed over to their Kosovo colleagues the experience of more than five years of continuous pressure to make campaigns more transparent and, above all, know-how to use working methods that can guarantee some public oversight of political party spending.

Cooperation was supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic under the Transformation Cooperation Program. Https://www.transparency.cz/melko/
