Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, spoke about a compromise for the president, saying that there must be willingness for solutions and decisions that are not easy.
At the Government meeting, Kurti said that going to elections is not an option for the country, KosovaPress reports.
“We have entered the final part of April, and ahead of us we have a constitutional deadline that is approaching. Going to elections, I believe, is not an option, and the election of the president is a constitutional duty. This requires willingness for solutions, readiness for compromise, and decisions that are not easy. We know that there is no party that can claim to win 80 MPs, therefore the election result must be accepted, and from those positions sincere talks should be held, with the interest of our country in mind… Citizens voted for four years, and in accordance with their will we will bring the 2026–2030 government program for approval,” Kurti said.
Kurti also spoke about the start of the transfer of funds from the Growth Plan. He said these funds will be invested directly in projects.
“After approval and ratification in the Assembly, the European Commission begins transferring funds worth 61 million euros for the Growth Plan. In the state budget, 28 million euros have been allocated in the form of a loan, while the remaining 33 million euros will be disbursed through the framework. Alongside direct budget support, these funds will be invested directly in projects. In the next step, after the fulfillment of several reforms, we will benefit around 90 million euros, but several laws that we have submitted—and will submit today—must be approved,” he said.
Kurti further mentioned the approval, at first reading, of the Draft Law on the Bureau for Confiscation of Unjustifiable Assets.
According to him, this will put an end to the slogan “small salary, big profit.”
“The approval at first reading of the Draft Law on the Bureau for Confiscation of Assets undoubtedly represents very good news for our country and for justice. However, for the respective institution to be established and begin its work, approval at second reading is necessary. We know that the name of the law has troubled many, which is why there have been strong objections, wrapped as complaints to the Constitutional Court, but we will not stop. We will implement this commitment—the Bureau will be established, and it will put an end to the slogan ‘small salary, big profit.’ As we have said before, assets acquired illegally are neither private nor legitimate,” Kurti said.
