According to the BIRN research by the end of May last year there were 12.823 property-related cases in the Kosovo Comparison and Verification Agency. These cases mostly relate to the agricultural land, business and residential premises. The usurped property issue was a topic of a debate held yesterday in Caglavica, Radio KIM reports.

Participants in a debate “Usurped property in Kosovo, an issue even after 20 years” illustrated the gravity of the situation by examples from the practice and everyday life.

The property and a house of the Petrovic family located at the entry of the village Musnikovo, near Prizren, is jeopardized with unauthorized reconstruction works, Radio Kontakt Plus reported.

A road has been built just above the house and an annex object, which resulted in a huge amount of soil and rocks falling down to the premises existing on the property.

Family Petrovci left Kosovo in 1999 and currently lives in Kragujevac city (central Serbia).
