Veterans threaten Government with protests

Meanwhile, the initiative of Prime Minister Wessel for the formation of an investigative commission for false veterans is seen as insignificant and that he cannot believe such a commission.

O Chairman VL KLA, Hysni Gucati, says their pensions should be raised along with the minimum wage, and that the change of the Veterans Law does not come in expression.

It doesn't come up in terms of changing the law on war veterans, that then the minister can play with veterans who are not fit. It's too dangerous for the Government itself, and for the Minister... I'm warning the government from this place that I'm here that within 48 hours we'll be on the road. I will extend an invitation to all war veterans to go out on the streets in protest for the right that I can meet with us”, Gucati says.

For the initiative of Prime Minister Wessel to form a parliamentary investigative commission that will investigate and clear KLA veterans' lists, Gucati says this may be intervention in justice.

I'm afraid I'm always saying it can't work out and it's starting to seem to think it's getting involved in justice. Now the prosecution has begun investigating cases and dealing with them. I do not see fit to be a parliamentary commission. Although I don't believe in this commission, the reason I don't believe it will be formed is because there are parliamentary groups there and it should be voted in and in parliament by all parliamentary groups”, he says.

Regarding the exact number of veterans, he said there are about 39 thousand receiving pensions, while their exact number is about 20,000.

According to him, the increase in the lists has been made due to the benefits of votes by policy people.

It's like over 60 thousand soldiers have not been, over 60 thousand have made apps, about 39 get salaries that's very real, but 45 thousand soldiers haven't been... in the figure I can't let go, but about 20 thousand behave or it's not true that there are 45 thousand soldiers”, Gucati says.

Meanwhile, veterans are expected to go to rehabilitation with government financing this year. According to Gucat, they have applied for about 1500 to 1700 veterans to go to sea.

O Chairman VL KLA, Hysni Gucats, among other things, voiced criticism of the two heads of institutions -- President Hashim Thaci and Prime Minister Kadri Veselin -- that at the central rally of the 20th anniversary of Kosovo's liberation did not mention the Kosovo Liberation Army's contribution to liberation.
