A company founded on July 10, 2024, registered at a private address in Čair, won four municipal tenders worth a combined over 3.4 million euros in less than two years. The figure comes from the opposition DUI, which is demanding answers - and, as usually goes around here, the question isn't about a single firm, but about a whole pattern.

The company in question is the construction firm NUM CONSTRUCTION. According to figures made public, the contracts range from the largest at around 1.44 million euros, through two of nearly a million each, down to a smaller one of 57,000 euros - more than 212 million denars in total. All of it for a firm that, at the time of its first contract, had existed for just a few months.

The political dimension is what makes the story more interesting. Two of the contracts were signed under former mayor Visar Ganju, and the other two under the current leadership tied to Izet Mediti. DUI reads this not as an isolated case, but as a "pattern of operation and circles of interest" - in other words, that the change of power didn't change the substance.

The party is demanding urgent investigations from the Anti-Corruption Commission, the State Audit Office and the prosecution, and says it will also inform European institutions. From the municipality, so far, there's no response.

Here a dose of sobriety is in order - an accusation isn't a verdict, and DUI as the opposition has its own interest in striking. Maybe the firm genuinely offered the best terms. But the question every citizen has a right to ask is simple: how does a newly formed company, registered at a home address, win million-euro contracts within a few months? The answer, if there is one, shouldn't be hidden - it should be shown, with documents.
