Comment

The annual financial reports of political entities are required to include the name and registration number for legal entities or the name, surname, and address for natural persons.

Furthermore, political entities represented in the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo are obligated to publicly disclose and update, every three months, a list of contributors. This list must include the name and surname for natural persons or the designation of a legal entity, along with details such as the type, amount, and date of the contribution. During a campaign, political entities must also publish the list of contributors for that specific campaign period.
