Agim Veliu makes illegal decisions after three days of work, risks 200 women being laid off.

Agim Veliu, chairman of the Podujevo, just three days after reconfirming in the new mandate has acted contrary to what all candidates in the election campaign have promised: promoting foreign investments. On November 22nd this year, three days after the runoff, the Podujevo municipality has taken action to prevent a company employing over 200 women from this municipality.

The company “Jaha Company”, in co-operation with German investors of the company “Kappa Antipasti”, has opened the country's vegetable processing plant and the assets of former social enterprise “Fapol” The private company paid rent to the Kosovo Privatisation Agency for their exploitation.

However, problems have surfaced on land exploited by rent. The Podujevo municipality, illegal according to the Ministry of Management of Local Power, has made a decision that this land will be registered in the cadastra as municipal property. President Veliu's decision establishes that the land is the municipality, while the AKP assets.

But the Privatisation Agency claims that both land and assets are under its management.

For this reason, the AKP has indicted the Podujevo municipality for alienating property. The trial has not yet made a verdict, and the land is officially in property disputes. However, the Podujevo municipality led by Agim Veliu is not awaiting the court's verdict. He decided to get the private company out of there.

The damage caused by Agim Veliu's illegal decision

Jahir Hoxha, director of the company “Ja Group”, has told Inseder that the municipal authorities' decision to build the sports gym on the ground exploited by the factory is harmful. Hoxha has shown that the part where sports gyms are planned to be held, the company uses it to preserve processed vegetables.

I don't have another place to put them. This Communist decision jeopardises Albanian-German investment and the lack of jobs of over 200 women employed in the factory”, Hoxha has told Inseder. Also, according to him, 270 local farmers contracted by the “Jaha Company” are also being damaged. The processed materials in this factory are exported to Germany.

Hoxha has indicated that municipal authorities have failed to lay the foundation for building the sports gym on November 22nd. That day, municipal officials had come to execute this decision.

The company's management had announced the Privatisation Agency for the Podujevo municipality action. According to Hoxha, The AKP sent a letter to the Podujevo municipality that day.

“We announced the Privatisation Agency for actions that the municipality did and after the letter was made by the AKP, the municipality left, and did not know why they did not shoot the qualm”, Hoxha told Inseder. He has added that his company is obliged to implement the contract with the AKP, which he has been paying rent for two years.

Convention Between the Podujevo and AKP Community

Four years after making the decision to reverse this property, the Podujevo Community has made another decision. Father, for the construction of the sports gym on this property of 20,000 square feet. That decision was made on April 29, 2016. Municipal authorities claim this parcel is owned by the AKP, not by municipal ownership.

The evidence that real estate is the property of the Podujevo municipality is the possession and copies of the plan of all property on behalf of the Communist Assembly, the state of 1983/1988, property that is not in the AKP management, where it figures even relevant properties, the property sheet in which no other social property categories --” are not included, says Indjenin, Nazmi Elezez, chief of the Office for Information of the Poduvea. Elez has indicated that the Constitutional Court in Pristina-Dega in Podujevo and the Court of Appeals in Pristina have rejected the AKP's request for the appointment of the provisional measure of security for this land.

However, the judiciary has not yet made a decision on the AKP indictment, through which the confirmation of this land's ownership is required. The judiciary has not yet made a decision on who this land belongs to, and the same is still on judicial charges.

Questions regarding this situation have been ignored by the municipal official. However, Elez has declared that the AKP does not own any evidence that proves that the land is not of the Podujevo municipality.

The alleged <x0)ekekekation is evidence that in addition to baseless claims, on the part of the AKP, thus far no evidence has been presented that the alleged incompatibility has ever been on behalf of the NSH “Fapol”, evidence which has been unable to provide because this property has been “Social Frame> (Centirecomment) While after the amendment of the legislation is “the Komunis<6>

“Based on alleged facts, any further insistence on ownership of the alleged incompatibility is arbitrary, biased and without legal support”, Elesi said.

He has added that the Podujevo municipality, under the planning and decision of the Communist Assembly, in co-operation with the Ministry of Culture and Sports, has secured the budget worth 1,885,110.86 for the construction of the Sports Gym.

The construction of Palestine presents no problem with exploiting those”, Elesi stated.

The Podujevo municipality has been addressed The AKP's with a letter through which it has asked it to withdraw from groundless claims concerning ownership of this plot. “On the contrary, in case of obstacles to the implementation of the project mentioned, The AKP will shoulder legal and material responsibilities”, Elesi has said.

He has warned that in the days to come, in the shortest term, it will be placed for the start of the works.

“... and in case of eventual obstacles, the municipality will take all necessary legal measures for protection, release and management of concrete property”, Elesi stated.

Veton Hajdini, director of the AKP's Media Office, has told Inseder that this institution is still in property dispute with the Podujevo municipality concerning the property the social company is located in. According to him, the Podujevo municipality on January 30th 2012, made an illegal decision to alter this property, registering it as municipal.

The Privatisation Agency had complained to the Ministry of Administration of Local Power, which has the responsibility to assess the legality of municipal decisions. On September 18, 2013, MAPL had submitted an official letter to Podujevo chairman Agim Veliu. He had announced that the municipality's decision was illegal.

The Podujevo municipality must also take the necessary actions to return social company real estate “Fapol”, from the municipal property register in the property register managed by the Kosovo Privatisation Agency”, says in the MAPL decision, provided by Insander. But this month it has been four years and two months since this decision by the Government of Kosovo continues to be ignored by Podujevo chairman Agim Veliu. /Insider. com
