Meanwhile, low air space due to political obstacles continues to be controlled by NATO and KFOR. He has thus stated by the director of the Authority [...]
So stated by Civil Aviation Authority Director (AAC) Eset Berisha, who today reported to the Commission for Economic Development, Infrastructure, Trade, Industry and Regional Development concerning the Civil Aviation Authority's annual report (AAC) for 2018.
Berisha during this report has said that Kosovo's air space control by Kosovo authorities jeopardises state security, so it called for institutional interaction.
He said the ASHNA is ready to control airspace, but the obstacle is politics.
Berisha, in concern of the authority he is leading, has presented the inability to train the working staff, and the inability to recruit workers in the absence of a budget.
Economic Development Commission Chairman Sala Berisha Shala sought to know the consequences if the training needed for staff is not implemented.
She also asked about the possibility of opening other air corridors with Albania and Montenegro.
In this regard Berisha said opening new air corridors concerns normalising low air space.
Questions for the first of the Civil Aviation Authority included Democratic League of Kosovo MP Hykmete Bajrami, who asked to know what the cost of investing in the air infrastructure would be in order for Kosovo's airspace to be controlled by our institutions.
The same question came from PSD Economic Development Commission member Dardan Sejdiu, who requested precise figures of how much money civil aviation needs to be equipped with adequate technique.
Berisha over the issue said that radar possess it but lacks a software whose cost is 10m euros.
Former Infrastructure Minister Lufti Zharku expressed his dilemmas as far as technical possibilities are making it impossible for the upper air space to be controlled by Kosovo authorities, as according to him, it is only political obstacles that are affecting this aspect.
About the high price of tickets and inspectors, questions were asked by the Council for Economic Development from the ranks of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, Muharrem Nitaj.
For this, AAC director Eset Berisha said it is more competence of the Ministry of Infrastructure, but that as authorities also have a plan to promote airline companies.
Nitaj has asked whether Kosovo institutions are likely to take control of the low air space this year.
And in his response, Berisha said deadlines cannot give, but are working in this direction.

Berisha has also suggested that the Labour Law, respectively, has been as a caution to the European Commission for the Kosovo Civil Aviation Authority, for which it also requested attention from MPs in this direction.
