The head of the ARKEP wants Pula member fired, he says Gashi is doing it after constantly rejecting him.

A year and a half after signing the decision to suspend the working relationship in the Civil Service, for one of the members of the ARKEP Board, its leader, Kreshnik Gashi, has revoted it.

Albania Pula was named a member of the ARKEP Board on December 14, 2015. Three days later, he had suspended his working relationship as a civil servant for what Gashi's firm received in January 2016, KTV reports.

When the decision was suspended, Pula, convinced in his right, had sought an opinion on the Ankes Commission within the ARKEP. The commission had said it is not competent for the treatment of the course, as the Board is treated by special law.

Even the Anti-Corruption Agency, which is the institution that assesses the conflict of interest in March 2017, had given Pula the right, since it had estimated that there was not enough evidence for conflict of interest in the exercise of public office.

His case also ended in the Independent Civil Ministerial Supervisory Council, which originally ordered ARKEP abolish Gashi's decision to revote the labour relationship.

Later, the Council changed its mind by ending the second decision by the Ankes Commission within the ARKEP, which had this time concluded that Pula was violating the Law on Electronic Communications, which stipulates that each board member, after the appointment, should resign from any public office or official office.

But, Albania Pula says he had no public office, he was only a civil servant, a legal official at ARKEP.

He is convinced that his dismissal is being sought for the fact that his vote in Bord he bases on the law, not as Mayor Kresnik Gashi requires.

One of the decisions was the failure of the 2017 Financial Report and the one for subsidizing the Post because it was illegal.

Kohavision has tried to take a stand by the chairman of the ARKEP Board, Kreshink Gashi, but his contact has been impossible.

But, following Kohavision's insistence, through the text, Kreshnik Gashi has said the responsibility for the Board is at the Kosovo Assembly.

“The appointment and dismissal of members of the ARKEP Board is the competence of the Kosovo Assembly. All ARKEP decisions and recommendations are based on law, and only goal is to advance and consolidate the system of electronic and postal communications in Kosovo”, said Kreshnik Gashi, director of the ARKEP Board

Pula has already submitted to the Constitutional Court in Pristina, the indictment for administrative conflict, and is convinced that, despite the Parliament's decision, it will run to the end.

The Kosovo Assembly, however, has debated the Pula dismissal procedure, but MPs were divided in their opinions: amid the AKK decision that the case does not present conflict of interest and claims by the board's head for violations of the law.

The PDK and part of the AAK insisted that Pula be dismissed, until other AAK deputies were in his favour.
