But with this findings, the head of the Employment Office in Drenas is not joining, Ragip Dervisi, who through a media communique has said such findings do not stand.

It provides some <x0 argument “ ” under which the office in question is disinfected and has taken measures to protect personnel.

That's his full response:

Reaction from Renas Job Office Director Ragip Dervis,

To clarify the public opinion and the citizens of Drenas by Mrs. Laura Thaqi, U. D. Director of General Administration - Office of Information in Drenas. For closing the Bureau for Research in Drenas, allegedly disrespecting measures for protection from COVID-19 virus.

For the sake of the truth and the responsibilities that I have as the leader of an institution, as is the Bureau for Research in Drenas, which is operating at the Red Office of the R Agency. of Kosovo, I have to give some truths that don't match the clarification that the Public Communication Office has made in a few paragraphs of clarification.

1) The first paragraph in which it says that in case of inspection by municipal inspectors on this subject it has been found that the Office in question has taken no measures to protect the health of staff and citizens from the COVID-19 virus under the recommendations of the IKSP and other orders issued by the MEPTINS Ministry of Health.

As they are: the inefficiency of work spaces, and the workers have been without protection tools by disrespecting measures of the decision to prevent, fight and eliminate the contagion 19 from the central level.

The truth is, we've disinfected space three times on the basis of the goodwill we've encountered by a specialised N company. S. Veterinary Ombulance”Verinaria”, owner: Bekim Sefedin Heta, who has made us disinfectant by dt 21.04.2020 and twice the disinfectant of the Office with private initiative, who is the family owner of the company in question. That's why I notified the Sanitary Inspector that he compiled the script, but he didn't take that for real. The facts are these. After all, I as the leader of this institution have never had a chance to do this, because I don't have any means available, whatever monetary or material. I asked for help from the municipality on the day of 17.04.20) at the Councilman of the Mayor of the municipality, Mr. Flamur Curri, when I asked for permission to move around, which allowed us for the entire Staff to go from house to place of work and vice versa, because it had entered into power by Government the measure of restriction by no. The end of my ID. When we're at this paragraph, it's also not true that workers have been without protection tools; if they're thought to be on masks, gloves and disinfectant for cleaning hands. We, we've all been equipped and we've had these on our faces and our hands when we've been inspected. These tools were brought to us by the Labour Agency and twice in a month. For this witness there are two other members of the police who have accompanied the inspectors and the PP employees. Also, the front door of the entrance was locked in the key and when the escort inspectors came in, along with the police, the door opened to them, one of the GP employees. The only notice from the inspector has been that the object should be closed temporarily, because it hasn't been disinfected! For which he gave us the deadline that if you don't sign up by 14.00 on the same day, when the ZP's target was made, it would be closed. Which he's posted in the first record. I told him not to take hasty action, because he was trying to talk to APRK officials. I also contacted them by phone and explained the entire course of the inspectors' work. They suggested that at the moment we can't help them, but try with your Mayor for help. I contacted Mr. Ramiz Ladrovci, head of the municipality to whom I explained the whole situation and asked for help. He said we can't get help, that's why you have the Central Level. I also asked him not to close the facility immediately within the day, because perhaps from the central level they'll come to do the disinfectation. And that's why he told me that I didn't interfere with the mission of the Director of Information, because I respected the directions and recommendations of the central level. And then, I immediately did the employment agency's paperwork that by 14.00 if it doesn't become the disinfectant of the facility will close the Job Office.

Well, the office isn't closed because it's nothing on my side, like the Office of Employment Leader. For the protection of workers and pals, but as a matter of fact, it's not the disinfectant for the disinfectant.

2) Social networking has released information that the Office of Employment has come up with statements that citizens have not yet applied for Emergency Package, Mass No. 15. Because of the closure of the target, which according to the Public Communication Office has been misunderstood!

For the sake of real clarification, we haven't said that citizens are unable to apply, because since 14.04.2020 has been applied online, through APRK and method 2. By e-mail, the official addressor of the Bureau for Research in Drenas. Right, Massa 3. The application through physical form has been interrupted until further notice, which will come from the central level, because of preventatives and defenders from the pandemic of staff and citizens.

But since some procedures are unknown and have been misconstrued, if you explain: Once the apps are submitted to two methods of one and two, I as the leader am obliged to download each app, print it, send it to the employment consultants, who then put it in the evidence of unemployed (SIMP). After this procedure was carried out, each app reported on the app that was accepted and continued for further procedures, such as online application to the Ministry of Finance and Transfers, or physical apps, to be taken at the Centre for Social Work in Drenas. Until the day the object was closed, I showed the inspectors that I'm working on downloading applications that were sent into electronic form, where by that day I downloaded and printed over 700 of them that through the councilors have been recorded in the evidence of unemployed Presidents. Even when I was ordered to stop work I looked at and told you that I have not finished the 682 applications, which then have to identify as unemployed, which is a condition to apply to Max 15 for emergency financial assistance worth 130.00 euros for three months.

I, as ZP leader, thought, that as far as preemptive measures and protection from virus corones, COVID-19, I've been through it.

This reaction may have been adjourned, but the goal was, just to make a solution, not to bear one's guilt, or the other. We are waiting for you to reflect on both the APRK and the Communists' part so that the ZP institution can be opened.

Thank you for understanding.
