Prishtina, 05.12.2024 – The Minister of Economy, Artane Rizvanolli, stated that in the past, some small enterprises such as “Drini i Bardhë” were audited every year, whereas “Trepça” was not audited by the National Audit Office (NAO) for 10 years, while KEK and “Ibër Lepenci” for more than 5 years.

In an interview with KTV, Minister Rizvanolli declared that the misuse, lack of control, and lack of transparency that existed in “Trepça” surpass the experience of any other publicly-owned enterprise, and according to her assessment, it was not by chance that the National Audit Office did not audit it.

She also expressed that among the best actions they have taken as a Ministry is the request for an audit. Here, credit also goes to the National Audit Office, which, besides demonstrating professionalism in the work they do in publicly-owned enterprises and in selecting enterprises for audit, ensures that large enterprises are audited and that their plan is such that it provides coverage for those enterprises that carry higher risk.
