The roles of Internal Auditor and Local Assembly  as the highest governing institution in monitoring and managing of public finances and addressing the General Auditor’s recommendations, were the top subjects during the last roundtable organized by Kosova Democratic Institute in Prizren.

The shortcomings of the budgetary planning and the level of managing the incomes’ processes, especially the temporary use of public property, the process of collecting the incomes, the lack of a comprehensive plan which includes concrete parameters, the list of risks which foresees the opportunities we might face during the annual processes, the ongoing inefficiency in procurement procedures and the wrong registration of ownership are some of the challenges that need to be addressed by the new local government.

Increasing the institutional cooperation was considered as necessary in addressing the General Auditor’s recommendations. The challenges that this municipality is going through will continue to remain quiet and the most important concerns, wherein, only in the last 3 years, 60 recommendations have been given and 29 of them are totally unimplemented. According to the participants of this roundtable, the municipality of Prizren has to establish an internal monitoring mechanism in order to surpass the mentioned challenges.
