Summary/Abstract: Analysis of the proposed amendments and the events that followed the submission of all proposals shows that there are very serious tendency for changes to the Law that favor the political elite and to insist on them regardless the fact that they violate proper procedures and rules. Changes of the most important provisions of the Law question the purpose and objective of the Law and the principles embodied in the Law. The adoption of the proposed amendments would provide additional arbitrariness of the political elites and the devastation of the state budget. Omitting the term “close relative” and changing the sanctions provided for offender of provisions of the Law would allow direct contracts with companies owned by close relatives of officials and heads of executive functions, and modifications of the Law on increase the cash value of the contract threshold, the huge amounts of state money would go into private safe of powerful politicians.
