Deputies of the Assembly of Kosovo, in plenary session are reviewing the recommendation of the Committee on Agriculture, Forestry, Rural Development, Environment, Spatial Planning and Infrastructure for the dismissal of members of the Board of the Railway Regulatory Authority.

Chairwoman of the Committee on Agriculture, Forestry, Rural Development, Environment, Spatial Planning and Infrastructure, Fitore Pacolli said that the composition of this board is unprofessional, while adding that the Railway Regulatory Authority has not worked on modernizing rail transport.

Pacolli mentioned the stagnation of the operation of railway lines, except for the Prishtina-Peja.

“The Railway Regulatory Authority has failed to bring under control the illegal circulation of trains from Serbia towards the station in Mitrovica. Every year we have a decrease in the number of passengers in rail transport. During the period 2007-2020, we have reduced the number of passengers from 417 thousand to 58 thousand 819 passengers. “We do not have a proper analysis of why we have such a decline,” she said.

Asking the deputies of the Assembly of Kosovo to vote for the dismissal of this board, she said that failures have been found.

“It is worrying the existence of 268 illegal crossings on rails which are constantly endangering the lives of citizens, only during the period 2016-2020 48 people were injured while 11 people are dead. It is worrying the lack of placement of signaling signs in the respective places and with high risk for the lives of citizens and as a result today we have the construction of houses and residential buildings near the rails or the railway network. The Railway Regulatory Authority has neglected cooperation with the municipal level and security bodies. The Railway Regulatory Authority has violated the regulation for the licensed operation of operators in the rehabilitation of railways “, said Pacolli.

The Board of the Railway Regulatory Authority is chaired by Arsim Berisha, while the members are Gëzim Qerimi, Shkumbim Hyseni and Ilmi Ahmeti.

The two former competitors of the love show “Për’puthen”, Arsim Abduli and Ana Lleshi were at the top of the pink media for several days, after it was rumored that they were in a relationship until the moment they separated.

During the time that Arsimi became part of the show, Ana had taken a role in the staff team of “Për’puthen” and that from there began the connection of the duo where often the escorts had caught them ‘mat’ having dinner together.

Education in an interview in recent days has shown the real reason for the split.

“It required a lot of attention, without thinking that I have a son, I have other things in life, I could not stay behind her 24/7,” he said in “Albania Live”.

Despite this, according to the media in Albania, Arsimi continued to wear the ring on his finger that Ana gave him.

While he admitted that the latter also has a ring that he gave him./Kosovarja/

The chairwoman of this Commission, Fatmire Kollçaku from Lëvizja Vetëvendosje said that as chairwoman I will work constructively and I will be committed to a spirit of cooperation for the common good.

The member of this commission from PDK, Bekim Haxhiu asked that everyone come together to help provide the vaccine, regardless of which party they belong to.

Whereas, Shemsedin Dreshaj from AAK says that the issue of vaccination remains a concern for everyone.

“20 thousand vaccines are 1 drop of water in the sea, we recommend not to go with a slow pace of vaccines, as the deadline for vaccines expires, mobilization at all levels is needed. “These steps must be taken before the vaccine comes from our side, you will have the support sincerely”, he said.

Whereas, the former Minister of Health, Armend Zemaj said that the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic remains worrying. He emphasizes that the government is silent on the situation with COVID-19.

The process of census of population, housing and households in Kosovo, scheduled to be held in September this year, is required to be postponed to 2022.

This is due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the holding of elections.

Leaders of the Kosovo Agency of Statistics say that the census, which has a cost of about 11 million euros, should have started in April 2021, but has been postponed to September this year.

Although, even September for the Deputy Chairman of KAS, Ilir Berisha is inappropriate, because as he says local elections and especially the Covid-19 pandemic, has influenced the institutional request to postpone the registration for April 2022.

Berisha said in an interview for KosovaPress, that based on the recommendations of the United Nations statistics of Eurostat and to have a successful registration, another period is required due to the pandemic conditions, which affects the quality of registration of population.

From the last population census conducted in 2011, the number of resident population in Kosovo, according to KAS data was 1,820,631 inhabitants./euronews

The Municipality of Prizren has initiated procedures for the project of renovation and rehabilitation of some collective housing buildings in the city, with the participation of residents. Municipal bodies have published the list of beneficiaries, which includes 12 apartment buildings in different areas of the city, in which case the amount pledged by residents for participation according to bank evidence goes to over 14 thousand euros. But representatives from the opposition have called for this project of the Municipality, not to apply participation, due to the aggravated economic conditions of citizens in a pandemic period.

The announcement of the Directorate of Urbanism and Spatial Planning clarifies that after the call for application published in January this year for the renovation of collective housing buildings, the required documents were received and that the Evaluation Commission has selected the list of beneficiaries.

“The amount of participations that has been proven to us according to bank evidence is 14,122.90 euros. After preparing the pre-measures we will start the procurement process. 214 housing units will also benefit from this investment. It is worth mentioning that so far we have invested in a total of 22 collective housing for the same purpose, with this investment we will reach 34 collective housing. “Every year, with a fixed budget and with participation, we will continue to invest until the repair of all roofs of collective housing”, it is said in the announcement of DUPH, published weeks ago on the website of the Municipality of Prizren.

However, the member of the Municipal Assembly of Prizren from the ranks of the opposition AAK, Vjollca Kabashi has requested that for the renovation and rehabilitation of multi-apartment buildings to remove the participation of residents.

“Remove the participation of collective objects, when it is seen what pandemic situation we are in. Therefore, there are complaints from all citizens of these apartments where water flows from the roof and rain sheets. “Citizens say that we do not have the opportunity to participate”, she said during the last session of the MA.

On the other hand, in the public announcement of the Directorate of Urbanism published in January this year, it was stated that the renovation of the roofs of apartment buildings this year will be carried out with participation, as the amount allocated by the Municipality does not cover the requests submitted by citizens.

“DUPH informs all citizens that regarding the project ‘Renovation of roofs of collective housing in the Municipality of Prizren’, which is planned to be done during this year through the budget allocated for this project, will be done with the participation of citizens these apartments, as the allocated amount may not be able to cover all the submitted claims. Until 31.12.2020, DUPH has received about 70 requests for renovation of roofs by residents of collective housing in the city of Prizren and that of the 70 requests submitted, only about 10% of them will be renovated roofs “, it was stated in this announcement, where it was clarified that the selection of beneficiaries will be done by the evaluation commission based on the defined criteria.

“The planned budget for 2021 is 190,000 euros, while it is worth noting that for 4 apartments, DUPH had pre-measures and that from September 2020, procurement procedures have started regarding the apartments in question, but such a process does not was completed by December 2020. Therefore, the amount for these four apartments will be paid from this amount, while the rest of the amount with the participation of residents is claimed at the completion of 7 or 8 other apartments by the end of 2021 “, It was said in the announcement of DUPH.

As for the project of “Painting the corridors of collective housing”, DUPH had emphasized that priority will be given to buildings built before 2000, where the amount planned for this project is 100,000 euros.

In April last year, the opposition accused the Municipal Executive of favoring local authorities during the implementation of a project to renovate the roofs of apartment buildings.
