REPORT ON POLITICAL ENTITY CAMPAIGN FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES FOR 2007 KOSOVO ELECTIONS Party has declared total monetary Donations to be €39,046 and In-Kind Contributions €1,484. LDD failed to disclose full identity of donors for €15,880 and of contributors for €1,284. Such contributions are considered impermissible according to UNMIK Regulation 2004/11 (sec. 16.1) and the President of the Party will be directed to return such contribution to the contributor (sec 16.7). If the Party fails to do so, the President of the Party will be directed to remit contributions to the Kosovo Consolidated Budget (UNMIK/REG/2004/11/16.8.)

The Political Party Registration Office compared the Balance Sheet with the figures provided on the form and found that it does not balance. Therefore, it increased Income to balance LDD’s financial report.

LDD and PSHDK applied as a separate Political Entity (Coalition) only for the Kosovo Assembly Elections. Both parties participated individually in Municipal Assembly and Mayoral Elections.

The Coalition was expected to prepare campaign financial reports only for Kosovo Assembly Elections. Both parties explained they could not split their Incomes and Expenditures per type of election. Thus, the report of the Coalition discloses the summarized amount of the Assets, Liabilities, Incomes, and Expenditures of LDD and PSHDK for the three elections, already disclosed in each Party’s individual reports. Also, the Parties’ financial representatives confirmed that the ownership of the Assets used by the Coalition in the Assembly Election was never transferred to the newly registered Political Entity.

Therefore, the Coalition obviously has disclosed Assets through its respective Parties. Further, the Income and Expenditures disclosed cannot be representative for the Coalition. They represent each Party’s Income and Expenditures for the three elections and thus will be commented as part of the PSHDK and LDD separate reports.

However, it is worth mentioning that the sum of both parties’ Expenditures does not reach the established spending limit. Total established Expenditures for both parties are €156, 964. 15
