The LDK deputy chairman who has led the municipality for eight years has awarded several tenders to the company “MaCon” led by his two brothers in which he is [...]
The company “MaCon”, which is led by Rugova's two brothers, according to a survey of Kosovo's “Directory”, had built a seven-story municipal property facility in 2004.
In addition to this construction, Rugova has been charged with opposing his candidate in local elections, Arif Elshani, for favouring a company of his son in municipal projects. Elshani had said that there is evidence of these favors of Istog's chairman.
“We have municipalities with 159 employees, the Procurement Office working for non-communal interests because this office has more than 10 subjects and is not done. I doubt that office has co-operation with Rugova, I have evidence that Mr. Rugova's son has received a tender and that I have raised this issue several times,”, Elshani said in a debate in Klan Kosova.
“has received a tender of 218 thousand euros since 2016, I have expressed the matter. I sent 15 classes to Istog municipality and they didn't do anything”.
And in the debate held on Kosovo's “life show” for local elections in the Istog municipality on October 4th, Rugova pledged that the company “MaCon” will not work on municipal projects.
That's it, I can't do it. I'm not a shareholder anymore, I've been away. What I have to do is they're a strong firm, and Ganiu (The Queen) has given the job to Macon”, Rugova said.
According to research of the research show, “Justice in Kosovo”, Chairman Haki Rugova in the declaration of property at the Anti-Corruption Agency for six years, has claimed that there are shares in the “ (Macon”, which he has awarded tenders to reach the value of hundreds of thousands of euros.

I don't own the Macon, I have no action, from the moment I ran as mayor, I have shares”, Rugova declared.

Found by this research indicates that the firm “Macon” owned by the mayor's brothers, where, according to AKK property declaration The chairman himself owns 15 % of the shares, which he has denied in the interview given for Kosovo “Justice”, has also received tenders worth hundreds of thousands of euros.
The findings from the research showed that the brothers of President Haki Rugova in three tenders have been recommended for the contract being awarded by the municipality of Istog.
Two tenders were won in 2010. The latest tender was won in 2014 for the construction of fecal sewers in the village of Cerce. The value of the contract signed between Istog municipality chairman and company “MaCon” was 283 thousand euros.
In a proposal for “Justice in Kosovo”, the deputy chairman of the Democratic League had acknowledged that his brothers' company has operated on municipality projects.
There were times when it took, very little. The channeling network in Crca some of it was completed by Maconiu, in two phases it was, and the rest was completed by another company”, President Rugova said.
Haki Rugova has won the most votes in the first round of local elections to be held on October 22nd, but not enough to win the majority.
The LDK deputy chairman will face a run-off on November 19th with the AAK candidate in this municipality, Gani Dresaj. /Insander
