Abstract
Using the framework of quasi-Hamiltonian actions, we compute the obstruction to prequantization for the moduli space of flat ${\rm PU}(p)$-bundles over a compact orientable surface with prescribed holonomies around boundary components, where $p>2$ is prime.

Key words: quantization; moduli space of flat connections; parabolic bundles.
