Kamenica is the best

Shaip Surdulli, Mayor of Kamenica, the municipality which was declared the best in terms of competition has said that this is a special day for him and for municipality he leads.

"For me and for the municipality of Kamenica is a special day. Because the Kamenica is a municipality that is ranked in first place in terms of performance with local businesses.

In the last year we have been in 22-nd place and after submitting this report to the municipal authorities on October 20 of last year and after a meeting on January 19 this year, with a considerable number of local businesses, organized by the USAID program, were presented several recommendations to be fulfilled by municipality, and exactly the municipality of Kamenica has met these recommendations, which have dealt more with a greater transparency of the municipality connected to Municipal businesses, "he said.

While Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Local Government, Slobodan Petroviç stated that municipalities have provided opportunities for companies for better life and competition are Hani i Elezit and Kaçanik and the municipality of Fushë Kosova and Burimi, have lower achievements. Petroviç said that the Ministry will continue the work with municipalities, which have shown poor results in the quality of competition and at the same time, it will help to improve in this regard.

Petroviç also said that the economic situation in Kosovo as in the whole world is not good enough and the municipalities are exactly those which are at the local level and signal for improving of quality of life of our citizens.

"We have a long way in front of us, especially the European path we have ahead. Municipalities that did not show sufficient results in competition did not help Kosovo's European path and somehow they slow this process. I appeal to all municipalities to take its role more seriously," said Petroviç.
