PRISTINA 30 August 2002
PRISTINA, 30 August 2002 - Ten political entities that broke Kosovo's electoral rules have been fined today by the province's Election Complaints and Appeal Sub-Commission.
Two parties were sanctioned for non-compliance with electoral rule 8/2000 on the Registration of Candidates, which requires the disclosure of information related to candidates' personal income and property. They were fined and ordered to provide the missing information before 16 September. Failure to comply may lead to the removal of the concerned candidates from the candidates' list.
Seven other parties were found to be in violation of electoral rule 4/2000 on the Certification of Political Parties, Coalitions and Citizens' Initiatives for submitting invalid signatures in support of their application for certification. The level of the fines imposed was determined according to the number of invalid signatures and the number of municipalities involved.
Another two rulings were made on political entities that failed to pay a fine previously imposed by the Sub-Commission.
These decisions are final and cannot be appealed to Kosovo's Central Election Commission.
