identify how the ministries, Parliament and Agency dealt with Agency’s opinions and recommendations;
identify which draft laws and adopted laws contained corruption risks that was not considered by the Agency and proponents of the act, as it was not mandatory according to the Article 35 of the Law on Prevention of Corruption by the Agency (laws are not part of the pre-selected risk areas, the law was proposed by a MP, the risk occurred in later phases of the legislative process), and to provide evidence for advocacy that would tackle this loophole. Recommendations will be published and written reports shared with those institutions identified by the TS as relevant;
identify risks related to corruption in selected drafts and adopted laws and provide possible solutions, thus facilitating the law-making process; recommendations will be published and written reports shared with those institutions identified by the TS as relevant (related to the specific goal no. 4);
