The facility in Gracanica, where the Serbian Post operated, is taken under control

During Thursday's action, officials from the Post of Kosovo addressed the technical and logistical aspects in terms of making the facility functional for the services of this enterprise. The Post of Kosovo announced that the facility was owned by the communications enterprise "Posta, Telegraphia dhe Telefonia" (PTT) and that in recent months the cadastral procedures for its transfer to the ownership of the KP have been completed.

Nine months after its closure, the Serbian Post, which has been operating illegally in Gracanica, had its logos removed from the facility on Thursday, which was taken under control by the Kosovo Post.

This facility was closed as part of a broad campaign to eliminate institutions south of the Ibar River that operated according to the Serbian system.

During Thursday's action, officials from the Post of Kosovo addressed the technical and logistical aspects of making the facility for services of this enterprise operational.

The Kosovo Post announced that the facility was owned by the communications company "Post, Telegraphy and Telephony" (PTT) and that in recent months the cadastral procedures for its transfer to the ownership of the Kosovo Police have been completed.

The Director of the Serbian Post for Kosovo, Ivan Milojevic, who was present during the takeover of the facility by the Kosovo Post and the Ministry of Industry, Entrepreneurship and Trade (MINT), has complained about the "usurpation" of the building by Kosovo "institutions".

"This is not just the case in Gracanica, it happens in Štrpce, Leposavic, everywhere. We, Serbs from Kosovo, were expelled from the cities and worked with our own post office for 25 years in the villages, in private homes. Even the little we did today is being taken away from us. The buildings of the former joint post office remained in the cities, exclusively for them," he said.

The Ministry of Industry, Entrepreneurship and Trade said that the inspection of the facility was carried out through the Central Market Surveillance Inspectorate (IQMT) and that its previous users were illegal.

"And consequently, the property was occupied. IQMT has inspected this economic operator where the party has not provided documents proving that it operates according to the laws in Kosovo. On the other hand, the Kosovo Post has presented documentation proving that the property is theirs. The space has now been vacated and its owner, the Kosovo Post company, will be able to use it," MINT announced.

KOHA has tried to obtain more information from the Kosovo Post, but has not received a response as of Thursday.
