The falsehood that Edi Rama was attacked with 'serum' in today's session

02 Feb 2023  |  kallxo.com
Media outlets in Kosovo spread a video claiming that Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama was attacked with 'serum' by opposition deputies during a parliamentary session. The video, shared by various online portals, was falsely reported to be from a recent session discussing the 'McGonigal' case. However, the video dates back to February 14, 2019, when deputy Edi Paloka attacked Rama with paint. Erjon Braçe, who appears in the video, resigned as Deputy Prime Minister in 2021 and is now a member of the Albanian Parliament.

Exaggeration of Statements Regarding Vucic's Participation in the EU Summit in Tirana

06 Dec 2022  |  kallxo.com
An online page, fakte.buzz, published an article with misleading context about Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić's participation in the EU Summit in Tirana, which was exaggerated by various Facebook pages. The article falsely claimed Vučić was scared of Kosovo's President Vjosa Osmani. Prindon Sadriu had shared a Serbian media report stating Vučić found the presence of Osmani and Montenegro's President Milo Gjukanović at the summit unpleasant for Serbia. Vučić was described as fearful and a former minister of the 'butcher of the Balkans.' Despite confirmations from Western Balkan states, Serbia did not send representatives to the summit held in Tirana on December 6, 2022.

An investigation by BIRN has uncovered that a single businessman, Blerim Devolli, is behind six companies that have been awarded rights to produce a combined 16.7 MW of solar energy in Kosovo, which is more than half of the country's total solar production. This violates Kosovo's anti-monopoly rules, which state that no single investor can produce more than three megawatts of solar energy. Devolli's companies receive a 'feed-in tariff' from the state at rates significantly higher than the market rate. Despite the Energy Regulatory Office (ERO) claiming it does not have the mandate to check company ownership, prosecutors are considering a criminal investigation based on BIRN's findings. Devolli's business interests extend beyond solar energy, including beer, fruit juice, dairy products, water, a virtual mobile operator, and other ventures. The investigation also highlights potential conflicts of interest within the ERO and connections to political figures.

Former ministers indicted in hydropower case

10 Apr 2020  |  Prishtina Insight
The Special Prosecution of the Republic of Kosovo has indicted 19 individuals, including former ministers Besim Beqaj, Mimoza Kusari, Dardan Gashi, and Nenad Rasic, for corruption related to the privatisation of four hydropower plants in 2013. The privatisation process, which also involved Kosovo's power distribution network, was conducted by the Kosovo Government's Privatization Committee and resulted in the transfer of ownership to the Kosovo Electricity Distribution and Supply Company and subsequently to the Turkish conglomerate Limak-Calik. The prosecution alleges that the privatisation was unlawful and caused over 12.5 million euros in damages to the Kosovo Energy Corporation and the Kosovo Government. The case was brought to light by journalist Visar Prebreza's investigation, and the accused could face six months to five years in prison and fines if found guilty.

A penalty of 53 million euros needs to be paid to Bechtel-Enka for the Prishtina-Skopje road, a result of bad decisionmaking by the last two governments.

07 Jun 2018  |  Prishtina Insight
The article discusses the decision by the Kosovo government to pay an additional 53 million euros to the American-Turkish consortium Bechtel-Enka for the Prishtina-Skopje highway, attributing the penalty to poor decision-making by the last two governments. It traces the history of the project, from its patriotic naming by then-Prime Minister Hashim Thaci to the contract signing during an interim government. The article criticizes the lack of transparency and the failure of successive governments to address the budgetary and timeline discrepancies that led to the penalty. It also highlights the secretive nature of the annex contract signed by the current government, which obligated the payment of the additional funds. The author suggests that the State Prosecutor should investigate the matter to uncover who is responsible for the costly oversight.

Kosovo Struggles with Long-Term Illegal Building Boom

30 Nov 2016  |  Prishtina Insight
The article discusses the widespread issue of illegal construction on publicly-owned land in Kosovo since the end of the Kosovo war. Companies like Lesna LLC have built commercial premises on land designated as agricultural and rented from state agencies at rates below market value. Despite the illegality of such constructions, the Kosovo Privatization Agency (KPA) has tolerated these activities and even entered into rental contracts with the offenders. The government is considering new legislation that would allow the legalization of these illegal buildings, which has been met with criticism from experts who argue it would endorse wrongdoing. The KPA has identified around 2,500 illegal buildings and is in the process of reviewing them, potentially allowing the illegal builders to become privileged buyers. The article raises concerns about the rule of law and the impact on the privatization process in Kosovo.
