Integrity, Anti-Corruption, Oversight, and Public Trust in Public Administration
At the KosovaPAR 2026 international conference, one panel was dedicated to strengthening institutional integrity, preventing corruption, enhancing oversight, and building public trust within the public administration.
The panel was moderated by Naser Shamolli, Senior Policy Associate at the Group for Legal and Political Studies (GLPS).
Panelists included Yll Buleshkaj, Director of the Anti-Corruption Agency; Vlora Spanca, Auditor General at the National Audit Office; Edi Gusia, Executive Director of the Agency for Gender Equality within the Office of the Prime Minister; Habit Hajredini, Director of the Office for Good Governance within the Office of the Prime Minister; and Peter Vagi, Senior Policy Advisor for the Public Service and Accountability team at OECD/SIGMA.
Discussions focused on the importance of transparency, accountability, and institutional oversight, as well as mechanisms for preventing and reporting corruption. Topics addressed also included the electronic declaration of assets via the eKosova platform, the publication of audit reports and the implementation of audit recommendations, and the strengthening of financial oversight. Part of the discussion was also dedicated to gender equality, equal access to public services, and the importance of protecting whistleblowers in both the public and private sectors.
Strengthening integrity, oversight, and accountability remains essential for increasing citizens’ trust in public institutions.
