On the shores of Lake Ujman in Zubin Potok, law enforcement forces escorted excavators that demolished 11 houses.

According to officials, these buildings were erected without permits on land managed by the Ibër-Lepenc company, sparking debate over property rights and institutional jurisdiction.

Faruk Mujka, the general director of this enterprise, in a statement to “Bota sot,” explained that the lands affected by the demolition have belonged to the company since 1973, when the expropriation process for the creation of the Ujman reservoir was completed.

He stressed that operations to free public property will not stop in the face of any usurpation, regardless of the ethnic origin of those involved.

“The lands in question are not just in temporary use, but are the full property of ‘Ibër-Lepenc’ since the expropriation carried out for the lake project in 1973. Our system constitutes vital infrastructure and full control over it is non-negotiable. Furthermore, the lake is an essential water source on which the supply of one-third of the population of the Republic of Kosovo depends,” Mujka stated.

Speaking about future plans, he added that the campaign to clear state lands of illegal constructions will extend to all areas where violations are found, without distinction of nationality, describing this as an unstoppable mission to protect the assets of ‘Ibër-Lepenc’.

On the shore of Lake Ujman, in Zubin Potok, law enforcement forces assisted during the demolition of 11 houses, which were destroyed by excavators.

According to relevant institutions, these structures were built without permits on land administered by the “Ibër-Lepenc” enterprise, sparking discussions on property rights and jurisdiction of authorities.

Faruk Mujka, the executive director of this enterprise, explained to “Bota sot” that the affected lands have been property of “Ibër-Lepenc” since the expropriation process carried out in 1973, when the lake was constructed.

He emphasized that operations to free usurped properties will extend to every territory where public property is encroached upon, regardless of the ethnic origin of the violators.

“These parcels are not simply under administration; they are full property of ‘Ibër-Lepenc’ since the expropriation for the lake in 1973. Our infrastructure is critical and must absolutely remain under the complete control of the enterprise. Moreover, the lake serves as a water source for one third of the population of the Republic of Kosovo,” said Mujka.

Speaking about future plans, he added: “The action to free public properties, in this case those of ‘Ibër-Lepenc’, will continue wherever usurpations and illegal constructions are found, regardless of nationality.”

“The parcels are not simply under administration, but are the full property of the ‘Ibër-Lepenc’ enterprise since the moment of expropriation for the needs of the lake’s construction, in 1973. Our infrastructure is of critical importance and must absolutely remain under the full control of the company. Moreover, the lake is considered a water source that supplies one third of the population of the Republic of Kosovo,” Mujka stated.

He added that “the operation to liberate public properties, in this case those belonging to ‘Ibër-Lepenc’, will continue wherever there are encroachments and constructions without permits, without making any distinctions on national grounds.”
