Periskopi(7 years ago)
(7 years ago)This afternoon, the chairman of The PDK, Kadri Veselini, made a post on his Facebook page regarding a visit he made to a diaspora investor who for years had not been able to enjoy the property he privatised as a result of the usurpors. In January 2016, Wessel took the initiative [...]
In January 2016, Wessel took the initiative to release hundreds of confiscated properties on the list of the Kosovo Privatisation Agency. Three of those properties were privatised by investor Naser Januzi, a businessman who lived in Germany.
After the usurped properties that were in the central-level registry were released, Kadri Wessel demands that Kosovo municipalities also follow his example and release the usurped properties they own.
Therefore, he has called on municipalities to show responsibility and take serious steps to free occupied properties.
At the top of municipalities with the highest number of confiscated properties, there is also the largest municipality in the country, Pristina. Based on the document for this municipality's property list, out of a total of 6183 registered property in the cadastre, 29,000 are used without contract, while only 723 Pristina municipality properties are used by contract.
While 2560 other properties are not indicated whether used by or without contract, it suggests that they are kept usurped by illegal owners who pay nothing for the exploitation of these public properties.
The problem is massive and severe in other municipalities. So for example, the municipality of Gjilan published a list of 80 public property usurpors that has been handed over to the prosecution in June this year, but no measures have been taken. Drenas in early July of this year has made a decision to release 14 unabated public municipal properties.
The situation is particularly serious in Pec, where two years ago the director for Jury and Property Affairs, Edmond Shala, declared that 90 percent of the municipal properties in the town of Pec are usurped. In the case of Rahoveci the Komuna task force supported by the Swiss project” DEMOS” reported 39 usurpations in the city and 15 hectares of land seized in the village.
Prizren also has hundreds of confiscated properties and, for the first time in October of last year, the Constitutional Prosecutorship in Prizren has filed 27 counts against 27 people for usurping Hekurland property cases in this municipality. But this initiative to release confiscated property has not been undertaken by the municipality, but has come according to the admission of 51 criminal allegations by the Iron Infrastructure Management Company “INFRACOS SHA”
