Fate games in our country continue to develop their activities illegally since the Kosovo government led by former Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj had made a decision to ban the event with a separate bill.

Although within a year the games of fate have poured into Kosovo's budget over 20m euros, they continue to develop illegally in our country without paying taxes to the state.

The former head of the Kosovo Economic Ode, Safet Gerjaliu, has stated that abolishing the Law for Game of Fate has been unfortunately a law-related experiment.

The “in Kosovo has recently been experimented with various laws, and in this collection of experimentation has also been the law on the games of fate. It must be understood that there is an activity to govern the rule of law and rule, and above all, there must be proper co-ordination for this activity to really benefit”, Gerjaliu said.

On the other hand, he has said that it is better to have the Law for Game of Fate than to keep these activities illegal.

It's a lot of a way to formalize how much illegal activity remains, because where there is no rule of law and law and such luck games are performed, the possibilities for negative phenomena are many. I believe that this issue is urgent and I want to believe that the Government of Kosovo will soon come up with a concrete proposal on this subject, which has been delayed for years, and therefore is losing the budget but citizens and security are also taking risks, Grjaliu said.

On the other hand, Kosovo Independent Union of Private Sector Chairman Yusuf Azemi has said institutions have taken no action to accommodate citizens who have lost their jobs when the decision is made to close the game activities of fate.

And we don't have an exact figure for jobs that have been lost, while with regard to setting up employees that have been out of work, who has been able to do it on their own because the institutions that have eliminated these jobs have not taken any responsibility to organize them elsewhere. A portion of them have been arranged where possible, while the rest that have been older have remained unorganized and are out of the work process”, Azemi said about news.net.

And according to estimates made immediately after the end of the game of luck, about four thousand Kosovars are estimated to be out of work as a result of that decision.

The news. We have asked the Government of Kosovo about whether it has any plans to draft any bill that would fix and re-legalise the event of the game of fate, but the same has not responded.

We remember that Kosovo police constantly report criminal initiatives against those who organise activities in question.

However, although illegal, citizens say numerous operators are active in illegal form and <x0online”, to avoid confrontation with the law prohibiting the activity.

Significantly, the Haradinaj Government had made a decision to shut down the games of fate after incidents at several casinos had been repeated at the time, some of which had ended in murder.
