Event Summary:
On May 19, Group for Legal and Political Studies held a Press Conference to present to the media a Policy Report 03/2012 entitled: ‘Dissimilar Patterns of (Mis)Using the Public Money: Trends and Practices of Public Procurement Management in Kosovar Municipalities’.  This policy report identifies the main problems related to the application of public procurement rules at municipal level. It first recognizes the main problems and assesses whether the misapplication of public procurement rules at the local level is having an impact in inducing corruptive behaviours and mismanagement of public money. It also takes into account the preliminary findings of the Policy Note 04/2011 published back in November 2011. To this aim, a list of findings and conclusions from both analytical assessments of the reports, decisions and official documents, and in-depth interviews with municipal procurement officers, business representatives and former procurement officers is provided in the report. Second, this policy report addresses a number of policy recommendations that concentrate equally on the failures to apply the public procurement rules and the needs to improve the current public procurement policy framework as regards the municipal procurement system and practice.
