UN in Kosovo repeals discriminatory housing and property laws:
The United Nations in Kosovo has abolished discriminatory laws relating to housing and property ownership, after determining they violated the human rights of people of the territory. Through a regulation enacted last week, the head of the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), Dr. Bernard Kouchner, repealed two specific laws - one on real estate transactions; another on granting farm land to citizens.
Also last week, Dr. Kouchner signed a regulation authorizing UNMIK to use Kosovo's Public Payment Service, headquartered in the capital, Pristina, to collect and disburse public funds. Dr. Kouchner plans to appoint a supervisory board to oversee payments for public institutions, as well as public sector salaries and pensions.
Signing a third regulation last week, Dr. Kouchner authorized the Post and Telecommunication Enterprise of Kosovo (PTK) to provide mail and phone services to Kosovo, under the overall supervision of UNMIK. By the new legislation, PTK was given use of all public postal and telecommunication assets in the territory, including any future expansions.
