At today’s meeting of the Government of Kosovo, a draft decision was approved to allocate four million euros for insurance policies at border crossings, as part of the “Support for the Diaspora” measure within the Economic Recovery Package.
The acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, stated that the policy will be subsidized for non-commercial passenger vehicles with up to nine seats.
Also, in today’s meeting, a draft decision was approved to allocate over 625 thousand euros to support education and institutional lobbying for Albanians in Presevo, Bujanoc, and Medvegja.
As Kurti explained, this includes scholarships for students, support for pupils, and funding for lobbying and advocacy activities at the international level.
“As part of the memorandum we have with the National Council of Albanians, we will allocate 625,400 euros to support education and institutional lobbying for Albanians in Presevo, Bujanoc, and Medvegja, including scholarships for students, support for pupils, and funding for lobbying and advocacy activities at the international level… Also this year, as in previous years, starting from July 1st, all diaspora members traveling to Kosovo with passenger vehicles will be able to obtain free insurance policies at any entry border point. The subsidized policy will apply to non-commercial passenger vehicles with up to 9 seats. For this purpose, today we are allocating 4 million euros from the diaspora support measure of the Economic Recovery Package,” said Kurti.
Among the agenda items at the 263rd meeting of the Government, a draft decision was approved for the appointment of the Inter-Ministerial Committee for human, animal, and environmental health—“One Health.”
Additionally, the acting Minister of Finance, Hekuran Murati, requested the review of the Kosovo Privatization Agency’s request to return funds transferred to the Budget of the Republic of Kosovo for the former Social Enterprise “Çeliku.”
“The funds from the Kosovo Privatization Agency, resulting from the sale of assets or former social enterprises in the past, were withdrawn by the government with the legal possibility that in case obligations arise later, the government would be ready to return these funds… We have a request from the social enterprise ‘Çeliku,’ which came from KPA, in the amount of 6,405 euros, which must be transferred from the treasury to the Kosovo Privatization Agency to cover these obligations,” said Murati.
Among other things, the final draft decision was also approved for the expropriation for public interest of immovable former social properties necessary for the implementation of several projects of the Municipality of Hani i Elezit. /KosovaPress
