Pristina’s chairman, Progress Rama, has reacted to statements by Sports Minister Blerim Gashani and Minister of Infrastructure Dimal Basha in the Assembly, regarding the organisation of the Mediterranean Games Pristina 203050.

Rama has accused them of providing false information and are trying to shift government responsibility for problems in organising this sporting event.

Deputet Basha and Minister Gashan are using the Parliament’s folk to bribe citizens and conceal government responsibility through charges against me and the capital. Letters noted by the International Committee of the Mediterranean Games, addressed to the Government of Kosovo, clearly testify to where the problems are and who should fulfil the obligations, he wrote.

He has said that letters with remarks from the International Committee of the Mediterranean Games, addressed to the Government of Kosovo, testify where the problems lie and which institutions must fulfil obligations.

Rama has stressed that it supports the organisation of the Games and the inclusion of other Kosovo cities, but only in line with signed agreements and the Masterplane approved.

He has clarified that Pristina and he himself have only three of the 12 votes on the Organising Committee, while the decision-making majority have the Government and the Kosovo Olympic Committee. For that reason, he held these institutions responsible for their decisions.

Rama has accused Government of trying to change the approved Masterplane and is not fulfilling financial obligations to the International Committee, which the Government itself has provided guarantees for.

He has warned that delays in paying off and realising infrastructure, as well as efforts to change Masterplane, are jeopardising the organisation of the Mediterranean Games.
