The National Audit Office (ZKA) has released its official audit report covering the Annual Financial Statements for the Municipality of North Mitrovica for the year 2025. While Chief Auditor Vlora Spanca provided an unmodified opinion regarding both the financial statements and overall compliance, the report detailed several areas of concern. Specifically, the audit identified multiple instances of financial irregularities and noted weaknesses within the municipality’s asset management procedures.
Furthermore, the report highlighted a relatively low level of budget execution for the fiscal period. In total, the audit concluded with six formal recommendations, comprising two entirely new findings, two partially repeated recommendations, and two recommendations fully echoed from the preceding year’s audit. Regarding fiscal performance, the Municipality of North Mitrovica operated with a final approved budget totaling €6,151,761.
The audit noted that the institution achieved a budget execution rate of 53% for 2025. These findings provide a detailed assessment of the municipality’s financial stewardship and operational adherence to established fiscal guidelines.
