24 hectares gave Rashihch” He forgave Kurti for what he once considered treason.

24 hectares of land Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti gave to Decani's Manastri in 2024 They were the head of the day today. This after Nenad Raspic declared that Kurti gave those hectares land to his father. Although in exchange for them, Kosovo would join the KiE, it has not yet happened today, writes Periscopi.

I'll say, maybe without modesty, but that was thanks to my constant persistence. For years, explain why this is important. Finally the prime minister called me before the government meeting and said: I've been thinking a lot about this. We'll do it, but you know it because of you, Raspi said, as Kossev broadcasts.

But how did Kurt make that decision?

Albin Kurti in 2024 had ordered the Cadastral Agency to implement the Constitutional Court's decision to recognise the Decani Monastery of Property on 24 hectares. At the time, Albin Kurti had said that this decision has been made to set as a condition for Kosovo's admission to the Council of Europe.

As Kurti said, the Kosovo government was ahead of two options: To meet this condition and to have Kosovo accepted into the Council of Europe or to remain without membership.

“Mbi all required a reasonable decision, unfortunately not fair in its capacity. But in spite of this to achieve a very large goal that we owe to the state that opens up unprecedented opportunities, we must step forward with caution and responsibility as an independent and sovereign state. So today we have told Kosovo's cadastral agency to implement the Constitutional decision, while Foreign Affairs Minister Donica Grovalla has sent verbal notes to the Council of Europe”, Kurti had declared.

What's on 24 acres around the Decani Monastery? 

Since the end of the 1998-99 war in Kosovo, the Decani Monastery, which is located in the western part of the country, has demanded the possession of an area of about 24 hectares.

This land, located around this monastery, is marked as the property of two companies “iliria” and “Apico” first hotel and second honey factory.

The ownership of the Decani Monastery on these 24 hectares of land was confirmed by the Constitutional Court of Kosovo in May 2016.

In addition to agricultural land and forest, there are two hotel objects on these 24 hectares, with about 10 small supporting objects, and the object of a prewar company known for honey production.

Once like the loudest man against the monastery's lands, Kurt declared it:

Decani's “The Decan Manster has its own court and I agree that there must be some land that the priests need for work and living there. However, not to be the local population. After all, those priests in Manastir, Decani, need three acres [3 ha] and four and so on. What does he need 1,000 acres? What will those priests do there with 1,000 acres? It is too much, for those very few people living and living there”, Kurti said at the Kosovo Assembly in 2013.

According to him, the mosque, the church, the monastery, the synagogue, the television, and other religious temples should be focused on the spiritual and divine aspect of life and space, not on property and wealth.

“We have believed that after declaring independence we will have the impact of this injustice and rooting it out, not straining it, as was the case in the Supreme Court, but perhaps this is the difference between independence and self-determination and without self-determination”, Kurti said.

Even, Foreign Affairs Minister Glauk Konjufca, once strongly attacked the Constitutional Court's decision on the Decani Monastery, saying the Constitutionary has legitimised Milosevic's decisions on providing several hectares.

This decision explores both the Decani municipality and therefore all decisions in the 1990s should be annulled by majority in the Kosovo Assembly. This has raised strong disappointments in Decani, where there have been protests, in which municipal officials and MPs have participated. This indicates that the decision was very unfair”, Conjufca said.

Besides the leaders of Vetevendosje, this was also opposed by the Vetevendosje Force branch in Decani.

” This Constitutional Court ruling is unacceptable because in addition to expropriating workers of companies “iliria” and “Apico” referring to 1997 legislation where these properties were violently under condition of occupation carried under the ownership of the Decani Monastery, legitimized also the fascist, colonising and genocide policies of Serbia and Albanians.

It is surprising that as high institutions like the Constitutional Court, we make a decision to legitimise the decisions of a regime that was described as criminal and genocide regimes from around the world at that time, it was said among other things in the VV communiqué.

“ - That what Vetevendosje once said after the Constitutional Court's decision on the Monastery.
