Group for Legal and Political Studies has released a Policy Report entitled: ‘Reviewing the normative compliance of the Draft Law on the prevention of Money Laundering with the EU Directive 2015/849 and FATF recommendations’. The aim of this report is to provide a legal analysis of Kosovo’s anti money laundering (AML) and countering of terrorism financing (CTF) legislation, particularly the Draft Law on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Combating Terrorist Financing (Draft Law). This analysis will be made by comparing the Draft Law to international standards, primarily EU Directive 2015/849 (the Directive) and the recommendations by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF Recommendations). This report makes some general comments about the Draft Law, before moving onto analysing the law in relation to the EU Directive and FATF Recommendations and making recommendations on what needs to be improved in order to bring the law more in line with these standards. The provisions of the Draft Law that are not necessarily related to fulfilling the requirements of the Directive or FATF Recommendations will not always be considered, but should also be thoroughly checked by the drafters before the law is passed in parliament.
