(a year ago)The Kosovo Communists association (AKK) has expressed deep concern over the Kosovo government's failure to respond to continued demands by municipalities for the creation of an Emergency Fund for municipalities, which would enable rapid and efficient responses to natural disasters. He has made that known to Periscope the mayor [...]
He made that known. Periscope The head of the Kosovo Communists Association (AKK), Sahan Ibrahimi.
“against repeated situations over the past few years, such as floods, fires, and damage to infrastructure and public and private property, the government continues not to take concrete measures to create a sustainable financial mechanism that would help municipalities in emergency case”, he said.
Abraham has also shown the consequences that the municipalities will have for not creating an Emergency Fund.
“Directs citizens, who remain without immediate assistance in critical moments; paralyses municipal response, as lack of resources makes it impossible to intervene quickly; increases dependence on long bureaucratic procedures, dragging support for municipalities facing real crises; confirms the lack of political will to strengthen local power, despite public design for decentralisation and institutional partnership”, he wrote.
Ibrahmi has reminded the government that these delays are already translated into concrete and irreversible damage to local communities.
“UA reminds the Government that such a fund has been requested by municipalities repeatedly in recent years, but has not been followed by political will or practical action. These delays are already translated into concrete and irreversible damage to local communities”, he has said. /Periscope/
