"Being in favour of open, liberal and competitive economy, the company has been asked to co-found a joint venture.

"We have thought that soon after the joint venture is founded, procedures start immediately with EBRD and WB to license the second operator", said Preci.

Ne vijim te diskutimeve tona rreth mospajtimeve ndermjet UNMIK-ut dhe PTK-se ne lidhje me tenderin per rrjetin mobil ne Kosove, desha t'Ju njoftoj per gjendjen sic e lash para pak ditesh. Se pari per shkakun e mospajtimeve (1) PTK ne bashkepunim me UNMIK-un kishte shpallur nje tender nderkombetar PER BLERJEN E PAJISJEVE per rrjetin mobil GSM (pra veni re: PER BLERJEN E PAJISJEVE e jo per kurefare forme tjeter bshkepunimi a ortaklleku); (2) Tenderi ishte pregaditur me kompetence nga ekipi i PTK-se, qe u vleresue (me shkrim) nga ana e specialisteve te KFOR-it si "dokument gjitheperfshires dhe i shkruar me kompetence" (a comprehensive and competently written document); (3) Kjo i zuni "te papregaditur" disa individe ne UNMIK te cilet kishin menduar se ofertat per nje projekt te tille mund te kerkoheshin me nje faks prej nje faqe dhe ate prej firmes se zgjedhur qe me pare prej tyre; (4) Te zene ngushte, ata e manipuluan rende procesin e tenderit, por megjitheate ne fund mbeten dy oferta te dy prodhueseve serioze: Alcatelit dhe Siemebnsit; (5) Oferta e Siemensit i plotesonete kushtet teknike sic kerkoheshin ne tender dhe kreditonte pajisjet ne mase qind per qind, me kamate dhe afat kethimi te aresyeshem (Nje digresion: kjo e verteton katerciperisht pohimin tim se fondet per zhvillimin e telekomunikacioneve nuk jane problem. Pse po iu dashka Albtelekomit "firma" joekzistues NWT vleresojeni vet). Siemensi, nderkaq, kerkonte qe paralelisht te zgjithet kodi per akces nderkombetar dhe i propozonte disa variante; (6) Alcateli kishte zgjedhur si partner Monaco Telecom-in dhe ne fazen fillestare propozonte shfrytzimin e kodit nderkombetar te Monacos, por me cmimin e ndarjes se fitimit per disa vitet e para. Teknikisht ofertane i plotesonte kushtet e tenderit por jo menjehere. Fillimisht planifikohej qe pjeset vitale te rrjetit te vendoseshin ne Monako (centrali, fakturimi, pregaditja e kartelave me parapagim, kujdesi per parapaguesit, etj.), e me vone te zhvendosen ne Prishtine; (7) Anetaret e komisionit vleresues u ndane (dihet se si); (8) Drejtori, z. Agron Dida, mbeshteti mendimin e anetareve te komisionit te PTK-se dhe dihet veprimi i (nxituar) i UNMIK-ut. Drejtori "i dhunshem" shpalli fitues Alcatelin dhe filloi proceduren e nenshkrimit te kontrates.Mirepo punet nuk i dolen aq thjeshte..... (9) UNMIK-u, Alcateli e Monaco Telecom-i nuk mund dhe (besoj) nuk deshironin t'a realizonin projektin pa kooperimin e PTK-se; (10) Ishte koha qe UNMIK-u te korigjohej, por punet kishin shkuar aq larg sa s'kishte kethim mbrapa, pa renjen e shume kokave dhe pa vonesa te medha ne realizimin e projektit. (11) Ishte koha per kompromis.... Kompromisi (1) Sipas burimeve qe kam (ende te pakonfirmuara) oferta e Alcatelit eshte barazuar me ate te Siemensit ne pikat kryesore: - pajisjet ipen me kredi me kushte komerciale dhe hiqet dore nga kerkesa per ndarjen e fitimit; - te gjitha pajisjet instalohen ne Prishtine qe nga dita e pare dhe rrjeti plotesisht integrohet me rrjetin fiks ashtu sic i ka hije; - operator dhe pronar i rrjetit eshte PTK; (2) UNMIK-u si duket ka pranuar edhe disa propozime plotesuese te PTK-se - qe mbrenda 6 musjve te ndertohet centrali nderkombetar ne Prishtine; - te perkrahet kerkesa per anetaresimin e PTK - VALA900 ne GSM MoU; - me fillimin e punes se VALA 900 te pushojne se punuari ne Kosove mbeturinat e rrjetave patetike te kujtedo qofshin ato; - UNMIK-u do t'u rekomandoje te gjitha organizatave dhe institucioneve nderkombetare dhe misioneve diplomatike qe veprojne ne Kosove, qe te abonohen ne VALA 900 si mbeshtetje direkte te zhvillimit te Kosoves. (3) Nese UNMIK-u jep sigurime sa me siper, PTK do te kooperoje ne realizimin e ketij projekti me Alcatelin ne bashkepunim me Monaco Telecom-in. Nuk e di si po Ju duket Juve, por mua po me duket se po i vije era si fitore e pikepamjeve te PTK-se - VALA 900 do te filloje se valezuari se shpejti ashtu sic e deshi PTK. Dhe sa te kete burra si koleget tane ne PTK, VALA do te valezoje per Kosoven.

Tung, Iliri http://www.kohajone.com/arshive/2000/01/11/POLITIKE/pol08.htm Kryeministri Meta kerkon shkarkimin e ministrave Prec Zogaj e Zef Preci Dje ne mbremje ne mbledhjen e kryesise kreu i qeverise ben propozimin e bujshem . Meta ka zbuluar prova se ministrat kane favorizuar kompani te ndryshme, mes tyre edhe 2K Pandi Gjata Kryeministri Ilir Meta propozon shkarkimet e para ne qeveri. Dhe jo pak, por dy ministra, te cilet u priten me entuziazem ne fillim te formimit te qeverise ne netorin e shkuar. Vetem pas dy muajsh qeverisjeje kryeministri ka propozuar ne mbledhjen e djeshme te kryesise se PS-se, shkarkimin e Ministrit te Ekonomise dhe Privatizimit, Zef Preci dhe Ministrit te Shtetit, Prec Zogaj, pasi sipas tij kane shperdoruar detyren duke u ndikuar ne dhenien e licencave disa firmave qe nuk e meritojne dhe i kane shkaktuar dem atyre firmave qe e meritojne marrjen e licences. Mes firmave te favorizuara nga ministrat Zogaj e Preci ne dhenie licencash dhe krijim favoresh, burimi permend edhe firmen "2K". Lajmin qe cdo kujt sot do i duket i bujshem e kane treguar dje ne mbremje vone burime shume te sigurta te gazetes "KJ" ne kryesine e PS-se, pasi per here te pare, pas nje mbledhje kryesie nuk u prononcua as kryetari Fatos Nano dhe asnjeri nga sekretaret, apo anetaret qe dilnin shume te qeshur nga mbledhja. Burimi i tha gazetes se kryeministri Meta ka paraqitur informacion te dokumentuar per veprimtarine jo te ligjshme te dy ministrave dhe per kete eshte i bindur e do te shkoje deri ne shkarkimin e tyre nga detyrat qe ia ka propozuar dy muaj me pare. Sot Meta do te therrase ne zyren e tij ne Kryeministri presidentin e Aleances Demokratike, Neritan Ceka, per ta njohur me veprimtarine e ketyre dy muajve qe ka pasur Zogaj si Minister Shteti. Burimi tregoi se menjehere Meta do i paraqese Presidentit te Republikes Rexhep Meidani propozimin per te shkarkuar te dy ministrat. Kryesia e PS-se ka qene ne nje ze dje kur Meta ka shtruar te parin problem te madh ne qeverine e tij. Kryeministri, sipas burimit shume te sigurt te "KJ", ka servirur informacion te dokumentuar per dy ministrat ne fjale. I eshte dashur vetem dy muaj pune Metes qe te kuptonte kush jane dy njerezit per te cilet ne fillim te krijimit te qeverise ishte shume entuziaste. Gjithcka ka qene shume e rezervuar mbremjen e djeshme nga anetaret e kryesise socialiste. Kryeministri Meta ka dale i pari nga mbledhja e kryesise se PS-se. Nano ka falenderuar gazetaret qe e priten per disa ore me radhe dhe ka marre ne zyre Sekretarin Organizativ, Petro Koci dhe ate per Marredheniet me Publikun, Luan Rama. Anetaret e kryesise dhe njerezit e afer me Nanon kane shmangur takimet me gazetaret. Largimi i Zogajt nga kabineti qeveritar, rrezikon edhe daljen e PAD-se nga koalicioni. Zogaj vinte ne qeverine Meta nga Presidenca, ku per nje kohe te gjate ka qene Keshilltar Politik i kreut te shtetit. Ndersa Preci vinte ne qeveri nga shoqeria civile ku kishte drejtuar Fondacionit per Kerkime Ekonomike. ______________________________________________________________________ Get Visto.com!

The conclusion came after three days of negotiations in Pristina and in Paris. PTK was represented by Mr. Gerard Fischer, General Manager ad interim, assisted by UNMIK Telecommunications and Legal experts. Alcatel was represented by Mr. Jean-Michel Lejosne, Director of Central Project Management and Monaco Telecom, by its President, Mr. Richard Lalande. As operator of the mobile telephone network, PTK - Vala 900, a subsidiary of PTK, will purchase from Alcatel the equipment necessary to install a mobile network in the territory of Kosovo with an ultimate capacity of 100,000 lines. Alcatel is responsible for the installation and the starting up of the equipment. PTK and Alcatel agreed to launch the first phase of the deployment of the network as early as 22 December 1999. This first phase will provide a mobile network for the seven main cities of Kosovo as well as in the airport within 12 weeks. Emergency equipment for the Region of Pristina will be installed at the beginning of the year which means that it should be possible to make the first phone calls in January 2000. Through this contract PTK-Vala will set up pre-paid and post-paid calling systems for subscribers based in Kosovo. PTK-Vala 900 will also be able to benefit from over 100 international roaming agreements, allowing callers to get through to all major countries and producing substantial revenue for Kosovo. All money paid by Kosovars and other local subscribers in Kosovo will remain fully with PTK-Vala 900. The closing on the transaction will take place on 22 December 1999 in Skopje.
