Communists still pay border security

The exiles express indignation that such a decision, which benefits the diaspora, is not being implemented.

Although, finance ministry officials have said this decision has been adopted as initiative and have not concreteised implementation modes.

This ministry's spokesman Muharrem Sahini tells Kosovo Press that the Kosovo government will in time clarify the course of steps further on the issue.

“The past government of the Republic of Kosovo at its latest meeting in 03.06.20, through the No. 0539 has approved the start of procedures for establishing a mechanism for covering border security obligations for all fellow citizens and foreigners who come to Kosovo in 2020, and who are subject to border police. This decision has been adopted as initiative and has not concreteised implementation modes. The Kosovo government will in time clarify the course of steps to further the issue”, Sahin says.

Comrade Besart Musliu, who lives and acts in Luxembourg, was launched on June 10th with great will for Kosovo, but in Merdara he was forced to pay the insurance, for which he has expressed surprise why the decision on compensation is not being implemented.

In addition to material cost, Musliu says long lines of waiting at the border for exiles are being created.

I've heard on TV from all those who come from abroad before it left Luxembourg, and this insurance has pulled in 2020. But when I came (to Merdar) they said I should pay. I even asked S.H.I., you pulled out, they said no. I told you I saw it on TV every day we don't need to pay. There an official laughed and said: “no, don't look too much at TV”. So it's not just the first problem, for 15 euros, but the whole problem is that when we're coming to the border, we're making 2 thousand miles and when we're coming there, only 20 cars to be, 20 minutes late, we're waiting two-to-three hours at the 11x3> border, Musliu stressed.

While the chairman of the Parliamentary Commission for Finance and the Transfer Hekuran Murati says there is a lack of political will to implement this decision on supporting the diaspora.

LVV MP says the government would have to commit to sending this decision to the end.

So, in the absence of the ability that I joined in Green Carton like Kosovo, it would take that state to take over that burden, so that I don't add barriers to the exiles coming to Kosovo. The cost of covering the Green Carton, if I'm not mistaken, according to financial mirrors behaves around 3-5 million euros a year, or the cost of covering the damage caused by the mrgata, which are registered. It is not a major cost to consider the financial contribution the exile brought to Kosovo annually. Under normal conditions we would have to be members of the Green Carton and that cost would be involved in the security that the exiles pay in the countries where they come from. But in the absence of such membership, which is a bit of our fault as a state by past administrations, the government would have to take over this burden”, Murati says.

Economics professor Nagip Skari also states that insurance compensation would be one of the encouraging forms for exiles to come to Kosovo, so a relief is required for the diaspora.

Professor Skkerer claims that if the government does not now subsidize the green Carton form for all exiles who come to Kosovo, it would be a major loss by diaspora remittances, which would speed up economic development.

On June 3rd, at the latest meeting of the Kurti Government, a decision was made to initiate proceedings for compensation of border security for fellow statesmen.
