Martin Polaine was asked to review the Kosovo confiscation framework on the use and disposal of confiscated assets through a Confiscation Fund. The analysis examined the practice in a number of European countries and the US to make recommendations that would be suitable for Kosovo, along with the regulatory and institutional setup, the objectives, functioning, governance, and management of the Fund.
Based on the findings of the review, Martin developed a Technical Paper (TP) setting out an overview of asset recovery system, including sequestration, confiscation (with specific emphasis on the establishment of a confiscation fund) and asset management system in Kosovo.
