Victor Pacolli and other VV deputies against Kurti's decision to counterpart

A group of Vetvendosje Movement deputies, members of the Commission for Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Infrastructure are coming out against their leader in the party, and once Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo Albin Kurti, in connection with their initiative for changing and completing the automotive law.

While the state prime minister is demanding that by this amended law the counterpart be removed only for new cars and not for those used, his parliamentarians in the Assembly are challenging the most powerful man's decision at executives, insisting that his counterpart be removed for all cars, without exception.

The latter, led by Victory Pacolli, at Friday's meeting of the commission in question, strongly pushed towards the adoption of their initiative in the Parliament, which, as noted earlier, is also against the government's official decision. They, however, failed to succeed, as they failed to vote in favour, in the absence of corruption.

Why is Kurt against his deputies' initiative?

In the no-02/14 decision made public at the government's meeting of May 28, 2021, Kurti demanded that the initiative or bill initiated by his party's group of deputies change only one article of basic law -- that is, the existing (05/L-132) -- and that by excluding only new vehicles that enter Kosovo, even those that have the certificate of confirmation (C).

With this document formalised as the government decision, the prime minister made it clear that the counterpart of used cars should be made, which enter Kosovo. His MPs, meanwhile, with their initiative and insistence on crossing him to the Assembly, are coming against him, greatly lobbiing that this is not allowed. So, they, unlike their boss at the party, are demanding that in the amended law the counterparts be removed from even used cars.

In position against the initiative of VV deputies, Prime Minister Kurti, calling for legal expertise, praised that the draft law “does not transpos any act of EU law, based on the EU's Legal View of Acquisity, for “The Bill on Change and completion of the Law on 05 vehicles L-1232”

The reasonableness of this prime minister's decision also argues the disturbing statistics reported to the government minister, under which every fourth car used to enter Kosovo is unmeritable to get into traffic, for at least one reason.
