At a media conference, there are about 11 per cent of gastronomics in Pristina, which should be equipped with noise sensors, as long as they have the deadline to apply 14 more days.
The head of the Pristina municipality, Progress Rama, said they have completed discussions on regulation, which determines the hours of work in the gastronomy sector, as well as protection from sound pollution in the gastronomy sector.
For the first time in the capital, we have finally begun to create conditions for co-existence of residents and this highly important sector for the capital. Gastronomial activities under regulations adopted by the capital's Parliament are clear. I have called on this conference to make the final call for the gastronomy sector for application for computer equipment adopted in full consultation with gastronomial representatives. Even though the deadline for application expired, I have expressed willingness to extend the deadline for application for equipment for 14 days. In the event of failing to comply with this regulation, the capital institution will begin with the penalty phase, which starts from the minimum value of 500 euros and amounts to the maximum value of 5 thousand euros. In the event of repeated violations, the inspectors will suspend the activity of the business subject up to eight days, so I invite the owners of gastronomial establishments to apply as soon as possible and be equipped with the certificate for music and for the establishment of sensors”, he said, thanking all those gastronomers that have applied.
He also spoke of the small number of gastronomics that have applied in regular time and why they have decided to extend the deadline for 14 days.
Arian Vranica from the Kosovo Gastronom Association said they as the association have come with proposals for delaying the deadline.
According to him, there are about 11 per cent of businesses that need to be equipped with sensors, but it's not the number of people who have applied.
The director of the Inspectorate, Florian Dashi, for those who are not equipped with sensors, the municipal bodies already have legal grounds for the pronunciation of fines, which is not their goal.
