Allegations are that Kabashi has signed a contract for selling coal worth 1.6m euros, without verifying whether the ongoing procedures have been in line with the law concerning the prosecutorial activity.
It is suspected that 200 thousand tons of coal was sold to a private company nearly 50 percent cheaper than the market price.
Also, eight recommendations for the initiative of disciplinary procedures for individual officials, for which there have been found and suspicions based on failing to comply with regulations and procedures in force, were given due to findings from the interior audience.
In this contract signed by Kabashi, the Kosovo Energy Corporation allegedly favoured a private company named “Enertech”, selling 200 thousand tons of coal at a price of nearly 50 percent cheaper than that of the market.
In the 1.6m-euro contract, KEK had sold 200 thousand tonnes of coal to this company at a price of eight euros per tonne, while the market price at that time was nearly 15 euros per tonne.
Even KEK itself to the company “Kosova Thrgjill”, sold coal to 15 euros per tonne.
In the tender documentation, which was kept hidden, no explanation was given regarding the price and financial reasonableness of the contract, except that KEK had set the price of eight euros per tonne since the tender file.
The large margin at the award was marked as highly suspicious in an internal KEK audience report.
The audience's report recommended further investigation into the contract. As a base, it got the big difference between the price applied to Kosovo Truttle and the price that was applied to the “contract. Enertech”. /Periscopi/
