Democratic Party of Kosovo MP ( The PDK — Ganimete Musliu, and Interior Affairs Minister Xhelal Svecla — have crashed in the Kosovo Assembly over the issue of Kosovo Police uniforms and equipment.
During the debate, Musliu has criticised Svecla, saying the responsibility for the issue is his own. It has also raised concerns about how budget management is managed and conditions have been created for members of police.
In his response, Svechla has said he is the last factor to verify whether procedures are followed according to the rules, while responsibility for the procurement process rests with the relevant department of support. I’m the last factor to verify whether the procedures were followed according to the rules. The responsibility for this process is to the relevant department of support.
Therefore, it must be extremely clear that I do not deal with the details of a procurement process, Svechla has declared. He has added that he has not changed the role of the Kosovo Police, but has increased its support, including financial one. Meanwhile, Musliu has rejected that reasoning, saying police have had smaller budgets in the past, but there have been no complaints about lack of uniforms, equipment and hats.
There was a smaller budget, but we didn’t have any cops complaining about lack of uniforms, equipment or hats. You’re presenting the budget on paper, while we intend to put the budget into practice, creating better conditions for work for police officers, Musliu said.
