Police with technological equipment and sticker tickets for unregistered vehicle detection

These are the two steps the Kosovar Insurance Bureau has taken to try to reduce the number of motor vehicles without registration and security, which are still on the run.

The executive director of the Kosovar Insurance Bureau, Sami Mazreku, has announced on Telegrafi that soon the signing of a co-operation agreement with the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the issue of unregistered vehicles is expected.

More precisely, Mazrek said that members of the Kosovo Police will be equipped with technological equipment, which will detect unregistered vehicles, which are then stopped by police and left circulation.

This is expected to significantly reduce the number of unregistered vehicles in traffic.

Besides stickers, we're pushing one more thing forward, which concerns an investment of technological equipment in Kosovo Police. We have already conducted all the discussions with Interior Minister Jedal Svecla, we have sent the draft memorandum of co-operation, and once that agreement is signed we have to give the Kosovo Police the equipment for the same purpose, that cars that come out in traffic without registration and security, that came out, stopped and pulled out of circulation by the Kosovo Police and that are normally reported or directed, but without the normal record insurance that no”, Mazreku said.

Mazreku said that the issue of stickers is from the first steps they've taken to get cars out of circulation without recording, and then technology equipment to identify these cars.

We're continuing with stickers, to the extent that we see that it's no longer necessary that technology devices do this job, but we're actually going to continue with technological equipment soon enough, that depends on how fast we sign the co-operation agreement with MPB, then we order the pieces and then we give donations to the police”, Mazreku pointed out.

He stressed that after the number of vehicles without recording in circulation is reduced, Kosovo will be in a better position in green Carton's security.

The moment we reduce the number of unregistered vehicles into traffic, we are in a much better position and go into alternative shape, to make solutions as far as green cards are concerned and directly to join Brussels. There is a political problem, but we will not be caught in the political part, we will see an alternative form.

Among other things, Mazrek has mentioned several agreements signed with neighboring states.

One of the other jobs is that we have signed agreements with Montenegro, we are recently making the new agreement with Albania, since it is old 2006, we're almost doing many actions in a short time that has been in a much better situation, so that eventually the solution can be made even for green card”, Mazreku stressed.

Starting on March 1, 2022, it is scheduled to begin full implementation of the project to place glues (stiers) through motor vehicles with the aim of easier identification if these motor vehicles circulate as legally registered or not.

The Kosovo Central Bank has become aware that this institution supports the Ministry of Environment, Spatial Planning and Infrastructure for implementation of this project.

Speaking of their meeting with the CEC and the Ministry of Infrastructure, Mazreku said there were pledges at the meeting.

Now it's also technical, legal side. Otherwise, when the equipment is through the normal Bureau that spends the monthly basis on printing security police, under that spending we're waiting to see how much additional costs it has been to print us even part of the stickers, and to put them potentially from March 1st so by then it's been nearly”, Mazreku said.

On the other hand, he said this cost would be for insurance companies, which cover extra outside the security policy.

So this will not affect the increase in the cost of insurance, nor will it be a burden to the citizen, it will be for a common purpose, with easier detection of unregistered cars. On the other hand, for a year we can lower the number of unregistered cars” by 5 percent, Mazreku said.
