ARH director who approved himself over 30 trips abroad, worth thousands of euros (Dok)

Enis Berisha at the time he was director general of the Railways Regulatory Authority (ARRH) requests for official travel abroad approved, which constitutes a clear conflict of interest.

After a series of violations, he is a member candidate of the Kosovo Board of Telecom.

Enis Berisha at the time he was the general director of the Kosovo Railways Regulatory Authority (ARRH) itself applied for official trips abroad, approved by himself.

The newspaper “Voice” has provided data on how Berisha had approved himself over 30 requests for official travel abroad, which amount to about 23 thousand euros.

Even in one of the documents provided by “Voice”, Berisha was seen applying for official travel to Brussels in February 2016, since the request would have to be approved by the board's chairman. But since the institution at the time had no board, Berisha had approved his request without receiving approval from other competent institution officials. “Mby 30 visits abroad by the former director of the Railways Regulatory Authority since 2014-2016 have cost the budget over 23 thousand euros”, newspaper sources have said.

The media also reported earlier on a series of violations of former ARH director Enis Berisha. This aside from the principal's salary for two years and seven months has been paid as a member of the board of this institution, though the board has not been operational.

The monthly salary of the Board member has been 490 euros, while in total during that period Berisha has received about 18 thousand euros illegally.

But Berisha's benefits have not been completed here, as he has received the principal's salary even three and a half months after his contract was completed. He has concluded his contract on July 15, 2016, but has continued to hold this post until November 1st, 2016. Only for these three and a half months has the former director of the ARH been enriched with no less than 4865 euros.
