Prizren Cultural Heritage Centre chairman Vesel Hoxha resigns (Koha)
The inability to stop the degradation of cultural heritage and local government irresponsibility, are among the reasons for the resignation of Vesel Hoxhaj from the position of the chairman of the Council for Cultural Heritage of the Historic Centre of Prizren, Koha reports. Hoxhaj accused the institutions that they have done nothing to prevent the degradation of cultural monuments. “The underlying reason of my resignation is the inability of the Council, which I directed until today to prevent further degradation of cultural heritage. The responsible central and local institutions have not shown any willingness to ensure normal functioning of the Council ", Hoxhaj wrote in a letter sent to the Prizren Municipality, the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning, the Ministry of Culture and Head of the EU Office in Kosovo Samuel Zbogar. According to Hoxhaj, the latest proof that the entire institutional chain does not function for many years now, is the demolition of the Mullafazliu family Han in the Historic Centre of Prizren, which is a protected area by a special law.
