Faithful Tahiri welcomes decision for assistants at the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo

The new regulation of the Republic of Kosovo Assembly has enabled all MPs to do so by an assistant.

This decision has received the green light from the 120 deputies of the Parliament.

AAK parliamentary group chief Besnik Tahiri has welcomed this regulation, where he said it was not practiced earlier in Kosovo.

The new re-registering of the assembly has imposed a regulation when each MP will have an assistant for himself, this is not the practice of Kosovo is international practice, but it is the practice which is supported by all MPs at the time of the constitutional vote”, Tahiri suggested.

According to MP Tahiri, a deputy minister should not have more of an MP's privileges.

He emphasises that an MP in the Kosovo Assembly does not even have a personal office.

“Deputet is the representative of the people, there is never a logic, a deputy minister who has then been appointed much more than the deputy, and the MP lets him have no office, no car, no assistant, no advisor. I think this helps function MP”, Tahiri said of IndexOnline.

We make it known that this regulation, which was adopted last month, envisions the appointment of staff for the heads of the Parliamentary Commissions as well as the deputy heads of the Parliament.

As well as each Parliamentary Group up to 10 MPs has the right to engage a political adviser, while parliamentary groups of 11 to 20 MPs have the right to engage two political advisers.
