Public procurement accounts for 40% of budget spending in Kosovo. This process, among the most talked about sectors of public administration, refers to the acquisition of goods, services and works by governments at the local and central level, and public enterprises. Numerous reports of misuse and mismanagement of public funds
make this matter of utmost importance to the public, as well as to the country’s governing structures and the donor community. Despite these problems in the procurement process leading to the sector being closely monitored at the central level, this has resulted in poorer oversight at the local level.
