Further on, Shaip Havolli, the Director of Anti-Corruption Agency, called upon businesses to cooperate with agencies in fighting corruption efficiently. Artan Canhasi, from USAID TEAM, said that transparency is the main factor in fighting corruption, mentioning the progress in some institutions through the e-procurement platform.
