Member of the Parliament of Kosovo Nenad Rašić said that a request was filed before the Kosovo Constitutional Court for the protection of constitutional rights of citizens who receive the basic pension, or some kind of social assistance of 75 euro, who were deprived of this right, as he said, by an illegal bylaw of the Kosovo Ministry of Labour and Social protection.

Earlier this year, the ministry has adopted a bylaw that expands criteria for receipt of the basic pension.

 -The Ministry has violated the law by this Administrative act. The law clearly states that the criterion for the basic pension is determined within the law. The criteria was that users can apply for the pension when reaching 65 years, with an identity card, which is evidence that they are the inhabitants of Kosovo and have a bank account - said Rašić.

A bylaw added criteria that are not provided for by the law.

Rašić points out that the ministry team bylaw change the law and added that the legal illegal.

He says that he does not know exactly how many people were affected by application of the act, but he heard earlier that approximately 400,000 euro were saved, and these savings have been done over the most vulnerable, mainly displaced persons; the category of people who are forgotten and left.
