The MP who had refused travel spending: I live in Pristina, I don't need to be paid

Former Kosovo Democratic League President Blerim Grainca, in 2015, had refused to cover travel expenses.

In his statement of wealth, he had the address on Ferizaj. But since he says he did not know that on the basis of this statement, the payment of travel expenses would be made, he was addressed with a letter to the Secretary of the Kosovo Assembly.

Through this letter, he had informed that he lives in Pristina and that there is no need for such expenses to be covered.

“With the case of completing MP forms, I have put my address on Ferizaj, since I am born there and I am still officially a resident of Ferizaj and nominated for deputies from Ferizaj, not knowing that the Finance Office on the basis of this form will also make payment of travel expenses for MPs. In this case, I would like to inform you that I live in Pristina and that there is no need to be paid the expenses of the trip”, said the Grainca letter.

He had demanded that the value of money paid in the preceding months be lowered for that purpose.

I've been looking for you and the financial office since the following months every month, as much as they've been paid in the previous months to write this value down until the reimbursement, or equalise of this value”, was said in Grainca's letter to the Parliament.
