The Association of Kosovo Municipalities (AKM) reacted today to the Government of Kosovo, saying that “the country’s municipalities are at risk of not implementing capital projects in 2025”.
According to AKM, this is happening because the Government is not supporting municipalities in terms of implementing the Collective Agreement and thus, in addition to the risk that municipalities will not have funds for capital investments, they are at risk of having their bank accounts closed and that many projects foreseen in the municipal budgets will not be implemented.
The Government of Kosovo, until the publication of this article, has not responded to KosovaPress regarding the reaction of the Association of Kosovo Municipalities.
“Government, stop the financial collapse of municipalities and financial bleeding. Municipalities are at risk of not implementing capital projects in 2025 and the closure of their bank accounts. The Government of the Republic of Kosovo is not supporting municipalities in implementing the collective agreement, and in this case municipalities risk not having funds for capital investments. They risk having their bank accounts closed, and many projects foreseen in municipal budgets not being implemented,” the Association’s statement says.
Furthermore, it is stated that: “This is a consequence of the negligence of central institutions, which for several years have not taken into account the requests of the municipalities”
