Kosovo municipalities want police hour removed

Ibrahimi considers that with the seating of the Quaddy-19 cases, the measures should be liberalised as is the removal of the curfew.

The “at the last meeting that the Council of Mayors under the Kosovo Association has behind it with Minister Arben Vitita has been discussed in revising the measures that took place on April 18th, but it has been discussed that in the future we look at the possibility of the decline of the number of infected and it is seen that the curve is in the upper decline thankfully, and here we can say that it has been an extraordinary contribution of municipalities in terms of successful management with the non-proliferation of Covid-19 at this time led to <1x Ibrahimi>, said in an interview on EO.

We are thinking that the time has come for us to sit down again with the municipalities of the Republic of Kosovo, respectively, with Minister Vitita to review and give an analysis of how much the measures have taken effect, and to look at the possibilities for their future liberalisation”, he has indicated.

Ibrahim further said that at the last meeting with the Ministry of Health, the mayors have only argued that the curfew has not yielded any effect.

Even at that time, the mayors have highlighted and argued the issue of the police hour, and even at that time have demanded that there be no police hours on the territory of the Republic of Kosovo because they have argued that such a move has not produced the desired and expected effect, and now that the number of infected people is fortunately declining and we hope that it will be in the future. The mayors' request has also been that the inoculation of citizens be the priority of the Kosovo government”.

Ibrahim has expressed readiness to meet the mayors and the Ministry of Health to discuss changing anti-Convidian measures.

“Zaconally when there was any action regarding anti-Covid measures it was the Ministry's initiative, because we like Association or mayors don't know the ministry's agenda as far as reviewing measures we are ready at any time, at any moment to respond to the minister's invitation to review the measures because they go to the benefit of Kosovo citizens<1>

Ibrahimi has also said that Kosovo mayors demand that priority, besides public health, be economics.

“is being noted that we have an upper drop number, time is being adjusted, states in the region, but also in Europe are liberalising the measures. We have a diaspora that strongly affects the country's economic development in particular local economic development and municipal heads have always demanded that, in addition to being a public health priority, public health is given an economic priority and a balance between public and economic health is found. We think and believe that the time has come for us to sit down and discuss current measures with Minister Arben Vitita”, he added.
