The “Since that time, at various meetings that the mayors of the municipalities have developed with relevant institutions, where the problem with the wandering dogs has been sought, it has been found that this problem cannot be solved in the municipality for the division but it has required solutions at the country's” level, said the Kosovo Commission Association communique (AKK).

COMMU NAT ABOUT PROBLEM With CENTURY ENDACAK:

AV UK FROM 2018 GOD AND GIVES STAY FOR QENV TRACTION E ENDACAK AND THE FOTOGRAPHIA IS ONE

The Kosovo Communist Association has issued a communique concerning the problem of wandering dogs:

“The mayors of the Kosovo Republic municipalities once again seek from the Kosovo Food and Veterinary Agency (AVUK) to seriously deal with the treatment of stray dogs because this responsibility with the additional budget worth millions of euros has taken and continues to be held by the Government of the Republic of Kosovo since 2018.

Since then, at the various meetings that the mayors of the municipalities have held with relevant institutions, where the problem with wandering dogs has been sought, it has been found that this problem cannot be solved for the divided municipality, but solutions are required at the country level.

That's why, AVUH as a central institution has taken responsibility to address this problem at the country level. For this, Government of the Republic of Kosovo has split the additional budget AVUK (budgets millions of euros) to deal with treatment of stray dogs.

It should be emphasized that the legal basis is responsible AVUK to care for the health and control of animals in Kosovo (even dogs are animals), as described in the 2004/21 Law and the 02/21 Law, and based on this law, AVUK has also established sector within it and has state officials dealing with the welfare of animals.

The mayors of the municipalities request from AVUK the full implementation of their commitments stemming from the several-year project, which has concrete action plan of several years followed by additional budgets.

It should be stressed that this project has been drafted in co-operation with Kosovo municipalities and with the American Embassy financially supported by the Government of the Republic of Kosovo since 2018.

This is the solution to the problem, and not the charges against municipalities.

The Kosovo Communists Association in the coming days will submit demand for access to official documents at AVUK in terms of implementing the project in question” in the Kosovo Communist Association communiqué signed by Mr. Chairman. Imri Ahmeti.
