Justice Minister Albulen Haxhiu, while in opposition to the position of Commission for Legislation in 2018, had indicated that this law and the Law for President should be changed, as with these laws there are many beneficials.

The time has come when we have to cut off some of the benefits of former senior officials, but also the charities that have senior officials, currently. We also have multi-laws that regulate this area, for example we have the law on the benefits of former senior officials. For me, it remains unclear how the MP receives both salaries and additions to the commissions and parliamentary hearings. As for the president, after the end of the term, his family is entitled to full health insurance and medical services in military and public hospitals throughout their lives, then scholarships for children”, Hadziu was expressed.

Even former opposition Glauk Konjufca, now Kosovo Parliament Speaker, had indicated that this law was prepared in order for politicians to make themselves the most luxurious, when they will no longer be in position.

When I read the Bill on Change and Fulfilling the Law for the Benefit of former senior Officials, I understood that Prime Minister Hashim Thaci is preparing for political retirement. Now as the prime minister nears the political end, he has begun to amend the laws to make himself the most luxurious place he is, when he will no longer be where he is. The reasons are clear if we read the Law. This is a law that shows the character of our state officials”, Conjufca was officially expressed as Parliament Speaker.

Konjufca had said the Vetevendosje Movement opposes this bill and against this law.

So against this bill that makes the law even more scandalous. This law and draft law is the best and the most illustrative example of how our political officials have turned Kosovo institutions into personal summits, instead of treating them as service instruments for citizen”, Conjufca had said.

But once in power, the Vetevendosje Movement, although in the third year of the mandate, these privileges of top state officials have never discussed them in public, and they are also seen anywhere in the legislative agenda to change. Repowering these privileges has not even been included in the law on salaries approved this year.

Unlike the Government of Kurti, the abolition of this Law was made in the adoption of the Law for the Salaries in 2019, when the Government was led by Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, but that this law had not passed the filters of the Constitutional Court.

It provided that the state official has the right to transitional compensation for 5 years worth seventy percent (70%) of the last basic wage, driver, assistant, car and office. The high official would gain that right if the official exercised at least 1 years of his post.

The “Justice Vow” has asked the Kosovo government to be informed if, in the legislative agenda, they will see the change of laws in terms of these privileges, but have not responded. Although they have not made any moves to stop these privileges, as they have requested in the time of opposition, Justice Minister Albulen Haxhiu, even now expresses himself against privileges, but says this competence does not belong to the ministry she leads.

I certainly consider that Law to be addressed, because as we have repeatedly said, the privileges it addresses are meaningless, in fact, but that's the composition of the relevant Ministry, for the public administration”, it said in a brief premonition for the “Law Trust for Justice”.

Although the Justice Ministry says that for this law, they should be directed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Public Administration as sponsors of this law, according to the latter, neither are they sponsors of this law. The ministry of Xhelal Sfechla has also said they are competent, but must be directed to the Prime Minister's Office.
