A mountain of problems in Kosovo Correcting Service

He says there are workers who work over seven years as task guides and are not paid.

There's over seven years of working as a task manager and not paid. That's also illegal. Point two, the systematisation of the jobs that have been talked about will take place many years ago, but it's not yet done, that's a lot that's taking revenge on workers. At point three I have tried to present some problems about the risk of civilian staff, which are not being paid as promised and as they deserve they work directly with convicts. Under the fourth point, I submitted that civilian staff have made a transfer to support staff, and no one from the ministry is able to clearly and well explain the rights and obligations that come out for them. These have reduced their annual vacations, while how the Benjamins have benefited nothing”, he said.

And as a problem, Sadiki has also presented a person's death at his place of work, after which a six - month salary law has not been enforced. Moreover, he says this is not the only case.

However, cancelling the competition for corrective officials, he calls it a victim for persons who have applied, stressing that it has not been explained to them why the competition has been cancelled.

“We as unions have asked for an explanation, tortured people after five six months has failed and nothing to anyone”, he said.

Also, the chairman of the Correct Service Union, said a recent phenomenon is the appointment of senior overseers without competitions.

The last “is like a phenomenon that is being named supervisor or senior overseer without competitions, no criteria, and it's named as a task officer and immediately starts paying, and for those I said seven years working for them, it hasn't seen. Not only in Dubrava even in other prisons, we have information that even in other prisons, as duty handlers and immediately on payments, not only in Dubrava prison”, he said.

In addition to these problems, according to Sadij, the uniform belonging to them each year has been cut short, where uniforms are given in absentia.

Sadij also points out that hygienic conditions are not at all.

The hygienic conditions are not on the level, still in Dubrava prison, the dishes are cleaned by hand, so there is no washing machine. The washing machine has for kitchen number one, and it's happened that by three months it's been out of circulation”, he said.

Kosova Prees has tried to get a response from the Central Directorate regarding these problems, but that the media office of this institution has returned answers that Sokol Zogaj ] Master of the Kosovo Director General of the Correcting Service is at rest and that he is competent for interview and answers to the questions directed.

Also, during the week, Kosova Press has tried to contact over the phone with the task of Director General of Correcting Service Sokol Zogaj, but the same has not been accessible. / KP
