PECK Project is assisting Kosovo* authorities with comprehensive revision of the AML/CFT Law in order to improve its compliance with applicable European and international standards. This activity builds on the results and findings of the recent PECK assessment report and will also contribute to the implementation of the outstanding recommendations on the AML/CFT Law. To this end, the PECK Project engaged two international Council of Europe experts who will advise and assist a Working Group to be set up in near future with the revision of the AML/CFT law. On 11-12 December 2014, the experts held first bilateral meetings with key counterparts, including the Financial Intelligence Unit, Central Bank of Kosovo*, EUO, civil society and industry representatives. A Technical Meeting with members of a future Working Group was also held with the aim to discuss the deficiencies identified in PECK assessment reports, other domestic and international documents, and through the consultation process launched by the FIU in November 2014. It was agreed that the first draft amendments to the AML/CFT law will be prepared and submitted to the Working Group and CoE experts for review and comments by mid-January 2015. The second onsite visit of the CoE experts to review and discuss the consolidated draft amendments and comments of the Working Group is tentatively scheduled for mid-February with the aim to have the final draft ready by the end of March 2015.
