The Law on the State Bureau for the Verification and Confiscation of Unjustified Assets has been decreed by President Justina Shiroka-Pula, two weeks after its approval in the Assembly.
The President of Kosovo, Justina Shiroka-Pula, has decreed the Law on the State Bureau for the Verification and Confiscation of Unjustified Assets, which was approved in the Assembly two weeks ago.
The news was announced by the Speaker of the Parliament, Albulena Haxhiu, who announced that she had received the decree promulgating the law from the Presidency.
According to Haxhiu, with its enactment, the law enters a new phase, that of implementation.
"For anyone who exercises a public function, it is clear that every asset must have a legal and documented source. The Assembly will closely monitor the establishment of the Bureau. Citizens will measure this law by the results it will provide," Haxhiu wrote.
The adoption of the law in the Assembly was accompanied by objections from opposition MPs, who had raised concerns regarding its content and applicability.
Out of a total of 24 proposed amendments, 12 were submitted by the opposition, while ruling party MPs supported only one of them.
The law aims to create a state mechanism for verifying unjustified wealth and confiscating it in cases where the legal conditions are met.
According to its provisions, the law enters into force 15 days after publication in the Official Gazette.
