Serbian minister's confrontation backstage uncovered, with chief chief chief suspended

Rikalo in the decision has mentioned two reasons for the suspension, but the newspaper Life in Kosovo has found that a clash between the two protagonists of about a 165 thousand euros is hidden behind the suspension.

That disagreement precedes a decision by Minister Ricalo to make a super-expertis on the case of a Kosovo company that had failed to meet contractual obligations with the Agency for Agriculture Development. After failing to fulfill contractual obligations, the AZHB had asked the company to return the means it had taken as grant from the state.

Elhami Hajdari, head of AZHB, says the company from Prizren {Extra Fruits Filings) was linked to the company “Concept Pro” with headquarters in Serbia, in which the director is the wife of Nenad Ricalos, the minister of agriculture.

“This decision of Minister Ricardo comes after the company's failure to support “Extra Fruit Filings) -- which has a deal with Rikalos' wife, éConcept Pro-) -- where the representative is the wife of Rikalos Biljana Rikalo, the company that has been beneficial for rural development projects in 2015 -- but that the company has passed all deadlines for implementation of the project and based on the Program, Administractor Guide and the contract -- this company has been asked to return to an earlier means of non-responsalment and non-respondition has been given in court, Ghax told by Gazis.

YNK has contacted Biljana Rikason, in the number she has placed in her registered business in Serbia. After hearing the question, she stopped her phone.

The newspaper has also contacted Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Development Minister Nenad Ricalo several times, but he has not responded to the newspaper's calls. The newspaper has sent questions to the Minister of Agriculture and to Minister Ricalo, and is awaiting answers. The paper finds that Biljana is Nenad Rikallo's wife, who is director of the company “Concept Pro”, registered in Serbia.

Super-expertosis Decision

The newspaper Life in Kosovo has asked for access to the entire case file of this company from the Agriculture Union, which has given it access. In these documents there is also the complaint the company has made “Extra Fruings”, in which it is said a company from Serbia has not yet supplied it with tools, despite the payment made to it. But it does not mention whether it comes to the same company.

Chief Chief Hajdari, in addition to the claim of the deal between Concept Pro and the company from Prizren “Extra Fruit Filings”, has also submitted the deal connected between these two companies. The company from Prizren had been the beneficiary of the 165-euro grant from the Agriculture Ministry in July 2015.

JNK has contacted the owner of the company “Extra Fruiting”, Ridvan Islamaj to ask for a “agreement. Concept Pro”, as well as whether it is this company that has delayed its means of work despite the pay he has made. He has initially said that I will speak for this job Friday and set the time for interviewing. But when he was contacted on the same issue later, Islamaj said I would not discuss the matter.

What a statement, don't deal with these nonsense, these are bullshit. What is it? This is me taking you to court, what are these bullshits so”, the owner of the company told them. JNK's.

Asked if he'd like to speak before the camera, an earlier interview, he said he'd never speak tomorrow or anything.

Rikalo had made a decision through which he forced the Agency for Development of Business to make a super-extin expertise that was shared with the company Extra Fruits Filings. In the decision that JNK has secured, given the application for access to official documents, it is said the same was taken on February 6th. The company was the winner of a 164 thousand and 395 euro grant (50% of the total value of the project), which was required within 12 months to make the first contract investments. The company had taken as the first tranche (avans) of 82 thousand and 180 euros.

In response to the AZHB, the Kosovo Journal of Life said that “Extra Frut Filings” owned by Ridvan Islamian has been beneficial in Masa 103, tree and vegetable processing stations from the 2015 programme. But the same had failed to implement the project under the contract and the business plan presented at the time of the application.

The total value of the company's project was 328 thousand and 790 euros, while the EZB had financed 50% of the project, subsequently 164 thousand and 395 euros.

Before request for super-expertosis A ZHB had double-checked this company. After the second search, the decision has been made to reject the project with the reason for failing to meet contract commitments.

“Based on the ground report of December 6, 2016, you see the first investments in the project are not complete, so the Tax Authorisation Division makes the decision to refuse payment for the second tranche”, reportedly in the AZHB decision, which the newspaper posts.

The company has complained about the agency's decision, but she has been denied complaints. After rejecting the company's complaint, the agency had demanded that it return the state tools the company had received as a advance project implementation. But the latter has not responded to the demand to return the vehicles.

The company hasn't responded to the demand for a return of the tools in the previous term, so the indictment was initiated at the Competent Court”, says the response provided. JNK's.

Possible Conflict of Interest

But the company's owner, Ridvan Islamaj, had complained to the agency on the grounds that there was a headquarters company in Serbia that had been contracted by them for buying some equipment, but had not brought them on time.

“We have contracted contracts to the Serbian firm for supply of equipment under the project and have paid them through the bank account for the service, and according to the deadline, which is the contract for financing projects, but due to the nature of the equipment production work, the contractor company from Serbia has delayed the realisation of the project”, it is said in the complaint of the company owner, which the JNK also owns.

The owner in his letter says they have initiated procedures near the relevant organs regarding the failure to comply with contract and fraud by the Serbian company. He never mentions the name of the company.

When the case was in court, there was a request from Minister Rikalo for super control for three companies, including “Extra Fury Filings”.

Based on this decision, AZHB's chief chief on February 9th has launched a super-control, which is the first one being made for such cases.

“has not been requested super-control in the past”, says the AZHB's response to the newspaper Life in Kosovo.

AZHB chief Elhami Hajdari had later handed the expertise report to Minister Ricalo, where the preliminary decision is deemed right.

The “Control in the country came true in 13,02.2018 with your decision presents another situation compared to preliminary control taking into account a long time between the two checks”, says the letter of the chief of ZZB.

But, in December 2017, after Nenad Ricalo had come to the helm of the Ministry of Agriculture, the company “Extra Fruit Filing” had asked the ministry to appoint a assessment commission for meeting the targets.

We're asking the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development to form a commission that, after the release to the field and review of the paperwork, will correctly assess the objectives of the business plan project from our company. This commission will assess that as long as % our company has fulfilled its initial obligations with the financed” project, the company's request, represented by their lawyer, says.

But, the supercontrol of February 13th of this year, which the newspaper owns, has found out that even after three years of obtaining the grant, the company still has no supply of Spiral 12d Package equipment that it has not owned during the supercontrol.

“From the second preliminary check carried out on December 6, 2016, and the supercontrol report carried out on February 13, 2018, where the subject has purchased and introduced three cars that he missed in the second report of the inspectors”, the AZHB's superexpertosis is said to be.

It's a <x0 mic about boiling turkeys, boiling gear and packing thread for fine fruit, and the grinding and tearing of fruit in a car with two comas.

And the Chief Chief of A ZHBS's decision of suspension has called it illegal and said he will not respect it.
