Zogaj laments lack of budget: Many artifacts have begun to disappear.

The director of the Agency for Management Memorial Confusions, Bislim Zogaj, says the budget of around 5m euros for capital investments is not enough for the institution.

Zogaj, in an interview for Online Economy, added that the tools are failing to complete their projects during the year, because they will need as many tools as they are available.

He stressed that the lack of adequate tools to preserve many artifacts have begun to disappear, and some have been completely lost.

This year's “Budget was about 5 million for capital investments, which really wasn't enough, it would take at least so many tools to complete some projects because we're too late in time and there's been a lot of artifacts starting to disappear and many more of them are going to lose. Even in some items that have traces of war, this year and next year, we end up at”.

So if we had a budget last year, even this year would certainly end this year. I'm believing next year all objects with traces of war at the end of the day will be canned for future generations to have evidence because we really have very little” left, he told EO.

The memorial complex of martyrs in the village of Marec, Pristina, has begun for several years, but has not yet ended. This project, which Pristina municipality launched in addition to a quantity of concrete placed there now and many years, was never completed by the municipality.

In this regard, the director of the Memorial Management Agency, Bislim Zogaj, said that if this project does not end this year this agency will take over this project in the coming year.

Zogaj said the agency he heads is the competent institution for the care of memorials dealing with war, but which, according to him, because of the small staff they have acted on the requirements that have come from municipalities in connection with projects.

The state institution for the care of witness memorials what it has to do with UCK's war the competent institution is the Memorial Management Agency. We have a small staff of workers and we are unable to get to the field and prove our priorities, more we have acted on the demands that have come from municipalities from associations, and the former fighters. Unfortunately this project hasn't yet come to the agency for this project, we have implemented two other projects in Marec two smaller projects, even those of martyrs”, he said.

This project that I have seen for the first time a few days ago and I've been interested and I've seen that this project started from the Pristina municipality a few years ago, the procedures have been announced, failed, failed, that unfortunately we haven't run for this project. But that doesn't happen until next year, of course we as an Agency will handle this project for next year”.

We have no way of doing this over the year to start new projects, that we don't have personal revenues we only have budgets from the state. Even this project is impossible for us to do something this year, but if we don't finish the municipality or somebody else that's early, we'll definitely see it in the budget next year and we'll do it”, he said. / EO
