Former Prime Minister Paul Lekaj speaks after being coveted for 5 euro ticket work

Infrastructure Deputy Minister Hysen Patience, who has put his signature on the agreement on the sticky ticket, has said he found the same at the table and that there was no other way to sign it.

Durmish in the DTP with Fidan has blamed former Infrastructure Minister Pal Lekaj. According to him, former Prime Minister Lekaj has prepared this process for his own company.

Paul Lekat's ministry has prepared this process for a company of its own. The company has been declared irresponsible by the assessment commission. And when the company that they didn't want to give this project was won, the secretary canceled the evaluation commission report, which is a legal violation. After that, the company that has met the criteria has applied for legal interpretation at the Office of Prime Minister”, Durmish has indicated.

The legal interpretation is that this secretary's decision is illegal and is invalid. That's why I signed this agreement. If there was an annulment, I wouldn't sign”, Durmish added.

Former Prime Minister Paul Lekaj has spoken of these charges.

In a response to Gazeta Express, Lekaj has acknowledged that the procedures were opened at the time he led the Ministry of Infrastructure, but has said the process had been cancelled later.

According to him, the reason for this has been procedures contrary to the Law of Prosecutorship and the high price of the tax.

The procedures are true that were developed by the Automotive Department in 2018, but seeing that procedures have attempted to develop contrary to the Law of Prosecutorship and the high price that becomes a burden to Kosovo citizens, it seems to me that there are some doubts behind me about the quality of the label”, Lekaj said.

He has indicated that the process has been cancelled by the Secretary of the Ministry.

“At that time, the secretary based on top arguments had cancelled this process, which is the secretary's overly competent and what it looks like this time has been through the hands of political appointees -- that is, Minister Lieburn Aliu and Deputy Prime Minister Hysen Durmishi -- and that constitutes another legal violation and not forget that everything has once again gone contrary to the Prosecutorial Law”, it is said in Lekat's response to Express.

Even from the “Auto Control Kosova” have declared for Gazeta Express that the process of offering service to “Ticete sticky (1)x3> began on September 19, 2018, when public announcement was announced on the website of the Ministry of Infrastructure.

“For offering this service have submitted three economic operators' bids, among them also in the Auto Control Kosova S. P.K in partnership with Austrian company Forster Verkehrs- und Germanik GmbH (now: FORSTER). After the assessment it has been found that Auto Control Kosova KPS has met all conditions and criteria, while the other 2 operators have failed to meet the required conditions and criteria. So, the process has been open to all companies without any restrictions and is respected by free competition”, the company says.

The company says they have been denied the right earned for three years, since this process has been finalised in June of this year.

This process, despite delays, has passed all phases of assessment and has been finalised in compliance with the legislation in force, only in June 2021. For us as a company (Auto Control Kosova), and especially the partner company FORSTER, it has been meaningless why for three years we have been denied a acquired right, and because of not offering this service with “Ticette contagious” public interest (this is going to be clarified for you following the letter)”, they have declared from “Auto Control Kosova<5>.

The company has reasoned with the benefits it says it offers, which it claims are: Enhancing road safety, halting losses of 20 million euros from unregistered car accidents, reducing losses from unregistered vehicles, Green Carton membership, while saying that additional payment of 30 euros for car registration will be allowed.

This service allows the removal of an additional 30-euro fee that citizens currently pay for vehicle registration (so, with the delivery of this service by “Tict the sticky”=x2> and creates the conditions for the payment of 30 euros, with the citizen paying 25 euros less than he currently pays. So, we re-focus that only in terms of this tax, the citizen will pay 25 euros less, after implementing this service”, is said to be further in response.

Based on data published by the Business Record Agency, “Autto Control Kosova” has been registered as business in June 2018.

Its capital is 1,000 euros, there are only three workers, until the number of shareholders stands at seven.

As primary activity, this company has declared the majority trade in auto parts and accessors.

And if all goes according to the deal, this company is expected to have an annual circulation of about 2m euros.
