Ombudsman: ZERE decision directly affects citizens, hard to make decisions where there is no political debate

He noted that such decisions, under circumstances where institutions are blocked and parliamentary debate is lacking, violate public interest and create inequality among consumers.

“Even this is the same with the whole process of procrastinating institutions, because our attitudes and our analysis of this situation, we have considered that any decision affecting citizens' rights and interest directly, in these circumstances where there can be no public debate in the Kosovo Assembly institution, there can be no confrontation of arguments and counterargument, it is a very difficult time to make such decisions, what the ZRRE has taken, even though it has done its work of”, said Qela.

He said the government has had to intervene to offer more favourable alternatives to citizens and businesses, instead of leaving the burden solely on free market consumers.

I think the government has been needed to intervene, offer other solutions that are more favourable for citizens”, he said.

According to Celt, confronting the ZERE decision in the courts poses another danger that could bring uneven treatment and discrimination among consumers.

“I think judicial resolution of cases can be problematic, because this then selections: some can benefit from remaining in universal energy supply, some not, and then that can create even discrimination situations”.

The ombudsman confirmed that so far the institution he heads has not been filed with complaints.

“We have not accepted any complaints, have not seen in court's judgments or decisions. I think these are individual cases of deployment. So, only for certain economic operators has the decision to suspend, not the general suspension of the decision, and this naturally does not force or impose Z The RRE automatically suspends it, but it probably makes it reflect and look to review that” decision, he added.

Subsequently, the introduction to this decision in these circumstances could be a serious blow to businesses, directly affecting jobs and the economic and social rights of citizens.

The implementation of this decision under these circumstances can create very many difficult situations for businesses, to place them in a position not easily to continue their economic activity, which will directly affect employees in this sector and in the loss of jobs, even in other situations that violate human rights”, said of EO, Celay. /Periscope/
