The voting on this decision in the Pristina Assembly was accompanied by discussions and clashes regarding the clarity of the documentation and transparency of the municipal government regarding the preparation of the special list of immovable properties.
Nora Kelmendi from the Vetëvendosje Movement said that the list submitted by the executive does not meet all legal requirements.
"The submitted documentation lacks the general list of the municipality's immovable properties. We only have a specific list, which in itself is incomplete. According to the law, the Municipality is obliged to publish both lists," said Kelmendi.
Another assemblyman from this party, Egzon Azemi, added criticism about the influence of interest groups.
"Interest groups have taken our mayor under duress, and they are also taking any property under duress. Mayor, prove that you have not been taken advantage of by these interest groups and that in the decisions that are made, you are not their tool," Azemi declared.
Meanwhile, Besa Shahini from PSD emphasized that the lack of a general registry makes it difficult to monitor properties and collect revenues.
According to her, there is massive mismanagement of public property in the Capital and that the damage caused to the municipality is over 200 thousand euros. Meanwhile, the Director of Property, Brahim Mehmetaj, said that the process was carried out according to the law.
