Veterans react after abolishing the article demanding evidence of unemployment to profit retirement

The Supreme Court has abolished a provision in Administrative Guide, which urged Kosovo Liberation Army veterans to testify with documents issued by the Kosovo Tax Administration (ATK) that they are not employed as a condition to benefit the veteran's pension.

In this decision, Kosovo Liberation Army Veterans Organisation has reacted, Periscopi.

From OVL, they have welcomed this by saying that there is a return to the injustice committed to veterans.

Full announcement:

The Kosovo Liberation Army Veterans' Association welcomes the decision of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kosovo, which has abolished the discriminatory article Administrative Guide No. 012025, restricting veterans' right to financial compensation.

This decision is a victory of justice and law, because it restores an injustice done to many veterans in the country who, despite being employed in the private sector, were denied legal rights to benefit from the compensation scheme.

The Supreme Court has correctly found that veterans' right cannot depend on whether they are in working relations, but on the nature of the employer, excluding only those paid from the state budget, while guaranteeing the right for all those working in the private sector.

This decision is a clear confirmation that the law that protects the dignity of freedom fighters cannot be distorted by illegal acts and that any attempt at unreasonable restrictions on veterans' rights is contrary to the spirit of the Constitution and the values of our liberation war.

O V L The KLA thanks the Supreme Court for its fair and bold decision-making, which contributes to strengthening the legal state and in protecting the rights of those who sacrificed for Kosovo's freedom.

What does the Supreme Court say?

Supreme Court abolishs the “witness from ATK that you are not in charge of” for the pension of veteran-war

The Supreme Court of Kosovo, with the P trial. A.n.14/2025, has declared illegal and abolished Article 14.A, par.1, subpar.5 Administrative Guides that required “confirmation by ATK that the applicant is not in a working relationship” as a condition for the realisation of veteran-war pension.

The decision comes after the indictment filed by four veterans and deports MPMS/ MPPT pay $640 judicial expenses within 15 days of accepting the plea. The prosecution takes a firm form immediately and will be published in the Official Journal.

There is no complaint against him.

Why was the condition abolished? The amendments to Law No. 05L-141 (14.04,2017) lifted the general ban on veterans working and predicted veterans working outside institutions funded by the state budget and outside public enterprises could benefit up to 50% of retirement, within BPV's limit. The administrative guidance was not harmonised with the law and unfairly narrowed the profiters' circle. What does it mean? The ATK testimony that veteran “is no longer required is in working relationship”. Individuals working in the private sector can benefit, according to legal limits. Those paid from the Kosovo Republic budget do not benefit or work in public companies. MPMS/MFPT should harmonise administrative guidelines with law in force.

Supremee makes a decision, it's about funding veterans
