We are of the opinion that several laws in the field ofcorruption should be supplemented with new provisions, which anticipateharsh punishable measures and other measures against senior public officialswho are suspicious with corruptive actions. In this aspect, the Law ondeclaration, origin and control of the property and gifts of senior publicofficials, which enables promotion of transparency and accountability, needsto be reviewed and amended respectively with harshness of sanctions andmeasures which may be imposed against senior public officials who hesitateto declare their property or make false declaration of property. With Kosovolegislation provisions should be foreseen also the measures related tofinishing function of senior public official and its punishment with CriminalCode. Corrections and supplements of this nature are imposed also withpractice of so far declaration of property of Kosovo politicians, where a hugedisproportion is noticed of the real property of politicians with what theydeclare.77
