The annual asset declaration process for the 2025 calendar year is in its final stage, with the legal deadline ending today.
In accordance with the Law on Declaration, Origin, and Control of Assets and Gifts, all public officials in the Republic of Kosovo were required to submit their asset declarations by March 31.
The Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (APK) reported yesterday that a significant number of officials have still not completed this obligation.
According to APK, 1,195 public officials have started the declaration process but have not yet finished, while 901 public officials have not begun the process at all.
The agency emphasized that failure to declare, delays, or inaccurate declarations constitute violations of legal obligations and are punishable with fines, criminal charges, and other measures. In certain cases, penalties may include imprisonment and confiscation of undeclared assets.
“APK calls on all public officials to fulfill their legal obligation to declare assets within the specified deadline. Transparency is not only a legal duty but also the foundation of public trust and institutional integrity. Therefore, it is important that each individual, within their responsibilities, contributes to a more open and accountable administration,” said APK Director Yll Buleshkaj.
This year, declarants also include doctors and professors. According to the agency, these categories are part of the registry of declarants and are subject to the same legal deadline for submission.
