Virtually every area of operations in Kosovo's Pristina airport has been subject to administrative irregularities and alleged corruption, the UN's investigatory arm has warned, as part of a review of UN global operations.
The Office of Internal Oversight Services, working with EU investigators, produced 32 reports ranging from allegations of fraud in cargo storage to violation of procurement procedures, bribes for employment, and rape. It also reported on allegations of procurement irregularities within the UN mission there. It has not published the findings, but referred them to the UN secretary-general's special representative, who has rejected the findings as historical, according to officials. OIOS has no enforcement power. Mark Turner, United Nations
