Privatization of Albanian Monuments Opposed

A proposal to sell off some 40 castles and towers has encountered stiff opposition among archeologists and historians.

The plan, spearheaded by the head of the Institute of Monuments, Apollon Bace, envisages the sale of 99-year leases to private companies.

These will then have the right to turn the historic sites into bars, cafés and inns while investing in their restoration.

In an interview for the daily newspaper Shqiptarja, Bace maintained that this is standard practice “all over the world”. He says it is also backed by Prime Minister Sali Berisha and the Minister of Culture, Aldo Bumci.

However, the proposal, which could be acted on as soon as next month, has drawn a fierce response from historians, archeologist and architects, some of whom accuse the authorities of failing to safeguard the nation’s heritage.

“The proposal from the Ministry of Culture to give concessions for cultural heritage monuments is an awful idea,” historian Auron Tare said.

“The state’s rejection of its responsibilities for cultural heritage and the transfer of this responsibility to private hands is testimony to the collapse of state institutions,” Tare said,  adding that the consequences “will be unimaginable and unrecoverable”.

The Institute of Monuments has in the past rented two medieval castles to private companies and Tare maintains that the results of this exercise were poor.

“If the authorities cannot even control two single projects, the question is how will they be able to control more monuments?” he asked. http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/experts-oppose-plan-to-privatize-albania-s-monuments

Privatizing Albanian Castles Worries Heritage Experts

Historians and archeologists oppose plans to let entrepreneurs turn ancient monuments into bars, cafés and motels.

Illyrian and medieval castles in Albania could be soon turned into bars and restaurants according to a government plant to lease cultural monuments to local businessmen. 

According to the plan unveiled in late January by the head of Albania’s Institute of Monuments, Apollon Bace, some 40 monuments would be leased for a period of up to 100 years, mainly because the government is unable to preserve them.

Bace says detailed plans for the use of these monuments will determine which parts of them are suitable for commercial activities and which parts should not be touched.

Rich with monuments dating back to Roman times, Albania has struggled for years to preserve them properly, as government after government failed to invest enough in restoration. 

However, the proposal, which could be acted on as soon as next month, has drawn a fierce response from historians, archeologist and architects, some of whom accuse the authorities of failing to safeguard the nation’s heritage.

They point to the fact that two castles privatized under the previous Socialist government have not been preserved properly, and they argue that other monuments could have the same fate if the latest government proposal is finalized.   

“The Ministry of Culture’s proposal to grant concessions for cultural heritage monuments is an awful idea,” historian Auron Tare said. 

“That the state is rejecting its responsibilities for cultural heritage and transferring this responsibility to private hands is testimony to the collapse of state institutions,” he added. 

Bace, from the Institute of Monuments, declined to be interviewed for this story, but Enton Derraj, an adviser to the Minister of Culture said the accusations made against the project were politically motivated. 

“Any interventions in these monuments will be carried out in accordance with the international treaty on restoration of cultural monuments,” Derraj said.    

The ruins of the Illyrian castle of Akrolisit, close to the town of Lezha were leased ten years ago to a local businessman, Gjovalin Kadeli, now a Socialist MP in parliament. 

For the past decade the ruins have housed a number of mobile phone antennae built on a concrete platform, which preservation specialists say has damaged the site. 

However, Kadeli defends his investment, arguing that what he bought was only a ruin, so talking of a “castle” makes no sense. 

“I bought it lawfully and there was no castle there, just a two- metre-high wall, which they call a castle,” he said. The antennae have been put up on a hill and not on “the castle,” Kadelli added. 

The medieval castle of Lekurs, close to Saranda, has also been the object of controversy after it was leased 12 years ago. The new owners restored it but also added a bar and a restaurant. 

Cultural heritage specialist have complained repeatedly about the restoration of the monument, now owed by Vangjel Tavo, an MP for the Socialist Movement for Integration. 

Lulzim Iljazi, manager of the Lekurs castle and its bar and restaurant, dismisses complaints that the monument has not been properly preserved. The accusers just want the castle for themselves, he says. 

“We have worked a lot on this castle and everything has been done to preserve its historical value,” Iljazi said. 

Gjergj Frasheri, a well known Albania archeologist, says that what has happened with leased out cultural monuments in the past should serve as a lesson. 

He believes transferring more monuments to private hands will be a mistake as Albanians are notorious for carrying out building work for which they have no planning permission. 

“Albania is a country of [hundreds of thousand] of buildings built without permits, where neither the state nor the law punishes people who build illegally,” Frasheri noted.

“Damage to monuments damages our historical record, and it is irreparable and unrecoverable,” he added. 

Auron Tare, historian and former director of the Butrint Archeological Park, agrees. 

“If the authorities cannot even control two single projects, the question is how will they be able to control more monuments?” he asked.

Culture of Impunity “State Capture and Polical State caputure in Serbia and Albania”

31.1.2012 by ConnieSakura.

  “No attacks against Prosecution”
31/01/2012

 

The British General Prosecutor, Keir Starmer, expressed his concern regarding the personal and public attacks toward the independent institutions in Albania.

The head of the British Prosecution declared that these attacks damage the democratic elements of the system. Starmer expressed his concern for the increasingly perception for the impunity of corruption in Albania.

“I have heard concerns for a growing perception of the impunity towards corruption in Albania, concerns about the immunity and the need to improve the Code of Penal Procedures. I have also heard about the need that the politicians have to support credible and non-militant trials, in order to strengthen the independence and the capacity of the democratic institutions. As director of an independent institution, I am concerned for the personal and public attacks against the integrity of the independent institutions and the individuals that direct them. These attacks damage not only the targeted individuals, but also the democratic elements of the system. If there are real concerns or evidence for the violations, these pretenses should be followed through the appropriate channels, rather then using just words for pressuring the individuals”, Stramer declard.

The British prosecutor refused to comment the investigations and the January 21st events, but he declared that in Great Britain, when he took decisions that were disliked by the government and politicians, he met their opposition too.

By advising the highest leaders of justice in the country, the Supreme Court members, the General Prosecutor, the Ombudsman and the media, Starmer declared that when he had been in a similar situation, he was only concerned about the continuity of the process. According to the British Prosecutor, Albania has the capacity for making a reform in justice, the members of which should not be partial militants.

Acquittal highlights Albania’s ‘culture of impunity’

 

 

The charges against Meta didn’t stick

 

A landmark bribery case against one of Albania’s highest ranking politicians has ended in acquittal, a year after anti-corruption protests swept the nation. Observers call it a missed opportunity.

 

Former Deputy Prime Minister Ilir Meta lost his post last year after a video showing him manipulating a public tender was released to the public. The footage, in which he appeared to attempt to benefit from the contracting process for a planned hydroelectric power station, sparked nationwide outrage.

This week, one year on, Meta was cleared of bribery and abuse of power. Observers call it a disappointing, if not unexpected, verdict.

“The Albanians see their government as a pathological patronage system,” Balkan expert and journalist Norbert Mappes-Niediek told Deutsche Welle. “They no longer have confidence that it really acts according to comprehensible laws.”

Mappes-Niediek said that the ruling would be viewed as a scandal in Albania, and he fears it could trigger public outrage. Last January, four people died in anti-corruption protests which had been sparked by the Meta video.

Forced out

Meta, 43, is regarded as an enigmatic player in Albania’s political scene. In the late 1990’s, at just 30 years old, he became Prime Minister and later served, at various junctures, as foreign minister, deputy prime minister and economics minister.

Meta (l.) has served in several roles including foreign ministerHe is the head of the Socialist Movement for Integration (LSI), a breakaway group from the Socialist Party, which Meta has led to become the third largest political force in the country. The LSI is now part of the current government coalition led by the Democratic Party.

After the release of the incriminating video, which had been filmed in secret by of one of his closest confidantes, a growing tide of public pressure built up against Meta. He resigned from his government positions in response, but maintained his innocence and remained party chairman of the LSI.

In May 2011, criminal charges were brought. The prosecutors demanded two years’ imprisonment and a fine. After the court declared him innocent this week, Meta called a news conference to hail his acquittal as a “victory of law over corruption and organized crime.”

Kosovo’s “incompetent … elite is free from accoun- tability” and to stupid for everything

• Kosovo Tax Dodgers Flourish in Corridors of Power

  A café in parliament, a restaurant owned by the Deputy Prime Minister Behgjet Pacolli’s family and another owned by the family of a senior figure in the governing party, Shaip Muja, are among the thousands of companies that are breaking the law by not properly declaring taxes.

The following excerpt effectively dismantles the pompous claims of heroic “struggle for freedom and independence” and disingenuous references to the “self-determination” of an ethnic group which has already exercised its right to self-determination with the formation of state of Albania.
No, it has nothing to do with “freedom”, “independence” or “self-determination”, it is all about illicit trade, crime without punishment, lawlessness, thuggery and insatiable greed.

Tirana Mayor Lulzim Basha

Tirana’s Mayor is visiting the United States and the government-friendly media in Albania have already added several twists concerning the nature of the visit, even though the municipality has given few details.

Contacted by Balkan Insight on Tuesday, a spokesperson for the municipality of Tirana, could not say if the visit was “official” or who had invited Basha to Washington.

“We will compile a press statement later on and give details on the visit,” Erald Kapri said.

But pro-government newspapers in Tirana, citing sources inside the municipality, have for days filled their pages with stories about Basha’s visit, claiming he was invited to Washington by the city’s mayor, Vincent Gray.

A spokesperson for the mayor, Doxie McCoy, told Balkan Insight that no such invitation had been forwarded.

Unknown arsonists on Monday night set ablaze an Orthodox church near Struga in southwest Macedonia in the latest in a series of ethic and faith-related incidents in the area.

The trouble dates back to a village carnival where locals wore masks deemed offensive to Muslim Albanians.

Firefighters fought till midnight to douse the fire at the St Nicolas church in the ethnically mixed village of Labunishta near Struga.

The information attracted attention as in the last few days tensions have increased in this part of the country, after ethnic Albanians living in this area launched protests due to, as they put it, offenses against them at the recent traditional carnival in the nearby village of Vevcani, in the surrounding of Struga.

Paljenje makedonske zastave

 

By our dpa-correspondent and Europe Online

Skopje/Belgrade (dpa) - A church caught fire in Macedonia late Monday, as underlying tensions between the Slavic and Albanian population resurfaced, more than a decade after the country tottered on the verge of a war along ethnic lines.

Police were determining Tuesday whether the St Nikola church in Labuniste, a village near Struga in southwestern Macedonia, was attacked by arsonists, Interior Ministry spokesman Stefan Dimovski told the 24online.mk news website.

The incident followed the burning of a Macedonian flag in Struga by Albanians and the raising of Albanian and Islamist flags, in reaction to a local carnival in the previous week in which Islam was mocked.

The ethnic-Albanian mayor of Struga, Ramiz Merko, said Monday that he believed the fire had not been set, and urged the carnival organizers to apologize to Muslims. Most Albanians are Muslim.

Reports said the situation in the area was tense and people were frightened.

Struga is an ethnically mixed town on Lake Ohrid, Macedonia‘s best-known vacation destination. It lies directly on the de facto line of separation between the Slavic and Albanian Macedonian population.

Macedonia had come to the verge of a civil war in 2001, when Albanians - who make up between one-quarter and one-third of the population - rebelled, demanding more rights.

An escalation of the conflict was averted with a peace-and-reform deal brokered by NATO in Ohrid after six months of fighting.

The deal improved the position of Albanians: Albanian was promoted to an official language; a university in an Albanian town was recognized; and the country‘s administrative boundaries were redrawn.

As a consequence, Macedonia‘s population was virtually divided, with Albanians dominating municipalities in the west, along the border with the country of Albania.

Many Macedonians resent the Ohrid peace accord because they feel their country has been lined up for partition along ethnic lines.

Die Profi Betrugs Banker: Goldman Sachs - Deutsche Bank - Ackermann

30.1.2012 by Achim.

Grenspan erklärt, das die Banken ein pures Ponzi und Betrugs Schema sind, welche Geld stehlen!

 1 Milliarde € Schaden durch den Betrug der Deutschen Bank allein rund um Immobilien Finanzierungen. Betrug ohne Ende.

Merkozy, Goldman Sachs und das „andere“ Europa

Januar 29, 2012 in Uncategorized
Referat von Jürgen Elsässer auf der deutsch-französischen Euro-Konferenz von „Horizons et Débats“ am 28. Januar in Paris

Das Goldman Sachs-Verschwörung

Die amerikanische Privatbank hat ihre Gewährsleute an den Kommandopositionen unserer Geldpolitik platziert: an der Spitze von Europäischer Zentralbank und vom Euro-Rettungsschirm.

Die Euro-Krise wurde von Goldman Sachs langfristig geplant. Dabei nutzte das Geldhaus die Gier der politischen Klasse Griechenlands, die – unabhängig von der jeweiligen Parteizugehörigkeit – zu den korruptesten der Welt zählt. Als im Jahr 2000/2001 der Beitritt des Landes zur Euro-Zone anstand, halfen die New Yorker Banker der Linksregierung von Konstantinos Simitis bei der erforderlichen Reduzierung des Haushaltsdefizits und organisierten nicht nur Kreditbuchungen in Höhe von 15 Milliarde Euro, sondern ertüftelten auch die Tricks, um die Schuldenaufnahme gegenüber Brüssel zu vertuschen. Die Hilfestellung hat sich angeblich ordentlich rentiert: Goldman Sachs soll eine Milliarde Euro kassiert haben, fast sieben Prozent der Darlehenssumme. Die Wallstreet-Banker verkauften die griechischen Anleihen an gutgläubige Kunden, darunter Finanzinstitute in Deutschland und Frankreich, weiter.

(…)

Bei diesem räuberischen Angriff auf das Euro-System bedient sich Goldman Sachs folgender Personen:

Mario Draghi: Der italienische Zentralbank-Chef folgte im Oktober 2011 anstelle des gemobbten Bundesbank-Chefs Axel Weber dem Franzosen Trichet nach und trat an die Spitze der EZB . Von 2002 bis 2005 war er Vize-Direktor von Goldman Sachs International – und half mutmaßlich bei der Schönung der griechischen Bilanzen.

Klaus P. Regling: Der Deutsche ist seit dessen Einrichtung zu Jahresanfang 2011 Chef des Euro-Rettungsfonds ESFS und dürfte, wenn die vorläufige Institution unter dem Kürzel ESM ab Sommer 2012 in eine dauerhafte umgewandelt wird, in dieser Position bleiben. Regling war im Jahr 2001 der Komplice von Draghi: Als Generaldirektor der Wirtschafts- und Finanzabteilung der Europäischen Kommission. In dieser Funktion hätte er die von Griechenland eingereichten und von Goldman Sachs vorher frisierten Kennziffern über die Verschuldung des Landes prüfen müssen.

(neu)

Lucas Papademos: Griechischer Zentralbank-Präsident von 1994 bis 2002, kommandierte als solcher den Übergang von der Drachme zum Euro und muss in die entsprechenden Tricksereien von Goldman Sachs eingeweiht gewesen sein. Nach dem Sturz von Premier Papandreou Anfang Dezember 2011 – Sie erinnern sich: Sein Verbrechen war, dass er einen Volksentscheid zum Euro ansetzen wollte – wurde Papademos griechischer Regierungschef, ohne Wahl.

Auf dieselbe undemokratische Weise wurde Marion Monti italienischer Regierungschef. Berlusconi musste zurücktreten, als die großen Fonds Mitte November in einer koordinierten Aktion Geld aus Italien abzogen. Monti gehörte nach 1995 zur informellen Gruppe der „internationalen Ratgeber“ von Goldman Sachs.

Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Personalentscheidungen titelte Time Magazin am 11. November 2011: „Regime Change in Europa: Läuft in Italien und Griechenland ein Bankiersputsch?“ Und der Londoner Independent hatte am 18. November 2011 die Überschrift: „Ist das der Preis der neuen Demokratie? Goldman Sachs erobert Europa“.

+++++

Goldman Sachs und die angelsächsische Finanzoligarchie wollen meines Erachtens den Euro nicht zerstören, sondern als Melkmaschine benutzen, um kontinentaleuropäisches Kapital in ihre Taschen umzuverteilen. Für dieses verbrecherische Vorhaben gibt es zwei konkurrierende Modelle, das deutsche und das französische. Der Plan Merkel lautet: Zuerst sollen Griechen, Spanier, Italiener den Gürtel noch enger schnallen, erst dann bekommen sie Hilfsgelder aus dem Euro-Rettungsschirm. Der Plan Sarkozy ist umgekehrt: Zuerst sollen Stützungsgelder, möglicherweise auch über Eurobonds, fließen, erst im zweiten Schritt greift die Schuldenbremse. Beide Pläne bauen auf die Abschaffung der nationalen Souveränität zugunsten einer diktatorischen EU-Wirtschaftsregierung. Der Unterschied der beiden Modelle ist, wer am meisten bluten muss bei der Errichtung der Diktatur: Im Modell Sarkozy fließt deutsches Steuergeld zur Rettung Griechenlands, also zur Rettung der dort am stärksten engagierten französischen Banken und ihrer angelsächsischen Partner. Im Modell Merkel müssen Griechen, Spanier etc. ihre Infrastruktur verschleudern, um die genannten Banken auszuzahlen, Deutschland wird eher geschont.

Ich betone: Beide Modelle laufen auf eine Diktatur hinaus, auf eine EUdSSR. Von der historischen UdSSR unterscheidet sich die EUdSSR dadurch, dass sie nicht auf einer sozialistischen, sondern einer finanzkapitalistischen Grundlage ruht, und dass ihre Befehlszentrale nicht im Moskauer Kreml, sondern in der Wallstreet und der City of London ist.

Obwohl Merkel für eine diktatorische Tendenz steht, ist der Vergleich zwischen ihr und Hitler absurd. Hitler vertrat in all seiner Scheußlichkeit die Interessen des deutschen Kapitals. Merkel vertritt die Interessen der internatonalen Finanzoligarchie. So etwa die der Deutschen Bank, die schon längst von London aus geführt wird, und der großen deutschen Aktienunternehmen, die schon längst mehrheitlich im ausländischen Besitz sind. Das deutsche Volk und die genuin deutsche Industrie, also die großen Familienunternehmen und der Mittelstand, stehen der Euro-Politik unserer Regierung skeptisch bis ablehnend gegenüber, haben aber keine politische Vertretung in Berlin. Das Problem sind nicht die Zombies der Vergangenheit, auch nicht der deutschen. Das Problem sind die postmodernen Retortenmonster wie Merkozy, die in den Labors der Finanzfrankensteins zusammengekocht wurden.

Deutschland Welt Spitze: Waffen- und Drogenschmuggel in Schiffs-Containern

30.1.2012 by admin.

 Was keiner weiss: Deutsche Schiffe fahren direkt für die CIA, um z.B. in den schlimmsten Jahren in Albanien ohne Polizei, Original Chinesische Munition, AK-47 in Albanien abzuholen und in die USA zubringen. Dort werden die Waffen dann u.a. in den Sudan geliefert, und als PR werden die Waffen dann als Chinesische Waffenlieferungen, an irgendwelche Mord Banden vermarktet.

Einfaches Spiel für Schmuggler
Die westlichen Staaten würden gewaltige Anstrengungen zur Bekämpfung von Piraten vor Somalias Küste unternehmen, aber sehr wenig gegen tödliche Waffen- und Drogentransporte auf den Weltmeeren tun. Als Grund nannte Griffiths den «Schutz der westlichen Mainstream-Reedereien».

Das bedeute oftmals nicht, «dass die Schiffseigentümer oder gar die Kapitäne wissen, was sie mit sich führen.» Denn es sei «recht einfach für Schmuggler, unter den legitimen Frachtgütern Waffen und Drogen zu verstecken», betont Griffiths.

Albanien in 1953: Putsch gegen die Putscher

30.1.2012 by admin.

09.09.1953
ALBANIEN

Putsch gegen die Putscher

 

Albanien, das wildzerklüftete Bergland der Skipetaren (”Söhne des Adlers”), hat seit eh und je den Ruf eines ständig und gegen alles aufsässigen Revoluzzers. Seine Geschichte bewegte sich stets rhythmisch so: Die jeweiligen (in- und ausländischen) Herrscher drückten so lange nach unten, bis die Söhne des Adlers ihre Flinten aus den Verstecken holten und auf die Barrikaden stiegen. Das machte das Land der Skipetaren für Abenteuerschreiber vom Genre eines Karl “Kara Ben Nemsis” May interessant.

Seit fünf Jahren nun berichtet die Weltpresse regelmäßig von einem bevorstehenden Putsch gegen den jüngsten Tyrannen des Landes, Moskaus Puppe Enver Hodscha. Die Presse der Nachbarstaaten forderte (nachdem Titos Bruch mit Moskau Albanien zu einer roten Insel im Balkan gemacht hat) die “Befreiung” Albaniens. Letzte Woche schrieb der halb-offiziöse griechische “Messager d’Athènes”: “Albanien sollte befreit werden.”

So viel interne und externe Befreiungslust machte Albanien für die kalten Krieger des Washingtoner State Department interessant. US-Dollars flossen, um den politischen Untergrund zu stützen.

Dann passierte in den vergangenen Wochen das Paradoxe. Die Amerikaner und die Presse der nicht kominformierten Balkanstaaten verstärkten ihr propagandistisches Trommelfeuer auf den Satelliten-Block der Sowjets, aber:

* Der Chef des amerikanischen Nachrichtendienstes, Allen Dulles, kürzte den monatlichen Widerstandswechsel für die meuternden Söhne des Adlers beträchtlich.

* Italien verlangte Garantien, daß der Balkanpakt Belgrad - Athen - Ankara keine Angriffshandlungen gegen Albanien unternehmen wird (und erklärte gleichzeitig, daß es ebenfalls für solche von der Nato geplante Unternehmungen keine Truppen zur Verfügung stellen werde).

* Die Mitglieder des Balkanpaktes vereinbarten, daß sie keine gemeinsamen oder einzelnen Aktionen gegen Albanien starten wollen. Wörtlich legten sie im Kommuniqué ihrer letzten Konferenz fest: “Der status quo Albaniens bedeutet ein Friedenselement am Balkan, und die drei Mächte betrachten deshalb seine Beibehaltung für notwendig.”

 ……

Der große Putsch gegen Enver Hodscha fand nicht nur deshalb nicht statt, weil die potentiellen Putscher heftiger gegeneinander als gegen den gemeinsamen Feind putschen. Während sich die Skipetaren des Untergrunds um amerikanische Dollars klopften und sich gegenseitig verpfiffen, organisierten die nicht-sowjetischen Nachbarvölker der Volksdemokratie einen Putsch gegen den Putsch.

Diese Nachbarländer (Griechenland und Jugoslawien) beteuern zwar, daß sie Albanien gern als Mitglied des Balkanpaktes begrüßen wollen - sie wollen aber nicht in eine “heiße” Befreiung verwickelt werden. Grund: Griechenland und Jugoslawien, die sich in den vergangenen Jahrhunderten oft um Albanien geschlagen haben, wachen eifersüchtig darüber, daß keiner von ihnen Befreiungskapital in Albanien investiert. Deshalb legten sie im Balkan-Pakt fest, daß keine der beteiligten Nationen im Ernstfall an einer albanischen Bataille mitmachen werde (es sei denn, ein Angriff werde von Albanien aus gegen sie vorgetragen).

Als die Sowjets in der vorvergangenen Woche die Propaganda-Parole ausgaben, die Türkei unterstütze die altgriechische Forderung auf den nördlichen (albanischen) Epirus, begann das ganze Balkangefüge zu wackeln.

Kosovo heads for ruin

Posted on 30/05/2011 | Leave a comment

PRISTINA, Kosovo — In a contribution for the guardian, the former Head of the ICO Economics unit in Kosovo, Andrea Capussela, reports that the Government of Kosovo acts “fiscally irresponsible“ and is on the way to “mess up its IMF programme”.  According to Capussela “the IMF is expected to make an announcement later today in which it declares Kosovo’s programme to be off-track. This would be a rare event,” Capussela states: “Both money and credibility look to be lost. … The irresponsibility of its government is leading Kosovo towards a fiscal crisis”, which is said to be due to its extensively increased budget spending. Kosovo’s “incompetent … elite is free from accoun- tability”, Capussela writes. Read the full article of Andrea Capussela.

Corruption at Kosovo customs and PTK

Posted on 09/06/2011 | Leave a comment

PRISTINA, Kosovo — As to Kosovo media two major public institutions were confronted with corruption cases on Wednesday: Reportedly the office of the Kosovo Special Prosecutor filed an indictment against Shyqyri Haxha, the CEO of the publicly owned Post Telekom Kosovo. Accusations refer to a damage of 100,000 Euro caused by a license given to the “Mobile Virtual Network Operator” Dardafon.net in 2008 and 2009. Another indictment targets the Director General of the Kosovo Customs, Naim Huruglica, as well as the head of its legal office, Lulzim Rafun. Both men face accusations to have harmed the Kosovo Budget by misusing  their insider knowledge concerning a planned increase of tobacco tax. Prior to this decision the respective officials are said to have imported a sizable amount of tobacco, supported by four Kosovo companies. KON

• Kosovo Tax Dodgers Flourish in Corridors of Power

  A café in parliament, a restaurant owned by the Deputy Prime Minister Behgjet Pacolli’s family and another owned by the family of a senior figure in the governing party, Shaip Muja, are among the thousands of companies that are breaking the law by not properly declaring taxes.

The following excerpt effectively dismantles the pompous claims of heroic “struggle for freedom and independence” and disingenuous references to the “self-determination” of an ethnic group which has already exercised its right to self-determination with the formation of state of Albania.
No, it has nothing to do with “freedom”, “independence” or “self-determination”, it is all about illicit trade, crime without punishment, lawlessness, thuggery and insatiable greed.
Criminals, Terrorists or Politicians? In Kosovo-Metohija, all Three.

Kuvendi i Kosovës i njëjtë me këtë të Shqipërisë

Klasat politike në Tiranë e në Prishtinë janë identike, dhe një fakt që e provon këtë është jeta parlamentare. Kuvendi i Shqipërisë ka vite që dallohet për dhunë verbale, kacafytje të paprincipta, sjellje mujshare, etj. Por edhe Kuvendi i Kosovës nuk mbetet pas. Duke marrë shkas nga një ballafaqim mes deputetëve të PDK-së e atyre të Vetvendosjes (më saktë, nga fjala që mbajti deputeti i PDK-së me nofkën ‘Kamishi’), Milaim Shefkiu kish shkruar një artikull për Zërin, dhe aty nënvizonte faktin që deputetët e kanë larguar vëmendjen nga shqetësimet reale të njerëzve, dhe janë fokusuar në sherre banale mes tyre.

“Në kuvend shpesh dëgjohen fjalët: “mbylle gojën kur flas unë”. Tjetri shan me nanë, një i thotë: “je sa një buburrec për mua”. Një deputet tjetër akuzon për takime të fshehta me serbë dhe për tradhti kombëtare…“ju jeni idiotë” etj. Pra kësilloj “perlash” të natyrës kush-kujt, janë frazeologjitë më të shpeshta që deputetët i përdorin gjatë debateve në Kuvend,”, shkruan Shefkiu nga Prishtina. Por në vend të tij mund të ish secili gazetar i Tiranës.

Biznesmenët Bedri Selmani e Shaip Muja, ish-këshilltarë të Hashim Thaçit, kanë ndërtuar biznese private në pronën e Ndërmarrjes Shoqërore “Auto Prishtina”. Të dy biznesmenët, Muja deputet aktual e Selmani ish-deputet, nuk paguajnë qira për shfrytëzimin e kësaj prone. Agjencia Kosovare e Privatizimit asnjëherë nuk ka bërë raport për këtë Ndërmarrje Shoqërore pasi që dy kompani private,
