MPs Face Pressure to Disclose Financial Information
Ninety Members of Parliament (MPs) within the current convocation of the DZ are required to submit reports detailing their financial situation to the Public Kinship Committee (PKC) within one month of assuming office, as mandated by the law on integrity and prevention of corruption. The deadline for the current parliamentary session was May 11th. According to the PKC, 28 of the 90 MPs failed to submit their required financial situation reports by June 5th.
Following this, the PKC initiated contact with several MPs who had not fulfilled their legal obligations. Calls were made to those who hadn’t reported, with further outreach planned over the coming days. The PKC highlighted that the list of non-compliant MPs includes three former ministers.
Deputy President Tina Divjak noted the situation was particularly noteworthy given that three MPs representing the Democratic Party – a party actively campaigning against corruption – also did not disclose their financial situation. All MPs are obligated to provide a comprehensive overview of their financial situation, and the PKC continues to pursue compliance with this legal requirement.

“It’s concerning to learn that so many MPs haven’t disclosed their finances, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest.”
What are the specific criteria the Public Kinship Committee will use to review the MPs’ financial disclosures?
