Periskopi(7 years ago)
(7 years ago)The lack of electricity in Serb majority municipalities has prompted responses by the Council for Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms, which has called on citizens to protest this discrimination. According to this council, Kosovo citizens should be organisedly opposed to setting standards [...]
According to this council, Kosovo citizens should be organised against setting double standards and demanding equal treatment, writes today “Koha Ditore”.
Kosovo's “Institutions must prove that they are a state and that they refuse to accept Serbs to behave this way. Otherwise, the escalation of the situation in Kosovo, initially of social nature, must and will be inevitable and will then be followed by political destabilisation and the security situation”, a communique for media issued by KMDLNJ said on Wednesday.
The council has recalled how citizens have paid for the energy spent by Serbs in the north, citing the government's promise of these citizens will be compensated, but that this has not happened.
The northern Kosovo Serbs still refuse to pay their electricity bills and other services, though Kosovo's budget is damaged for more than 12m euros annually. The state of Kosovo does not operate in the north, while even for the smallest debt of the KEDS-based electricity bill, through the bookins, blocks bank accounts and social categories”, the KMDLNJ communiqué says.
