It has been more than three weeks since the Government of Kosovo gave the green “” budget revision for 2017, which will also be submitted to the Assembly for approval.
In this regard, members of the Commission for Business and Finance today will hold the next meeting in which the Bill on Fulfilling and Changing the Kosovo Republic of Kosovo Budget Law will be considered in principle for this year.
Commission member Naser Osmani, who comes from LDK ranks, has told Indexonline that the budget has been cut to hundreds of millions of euros.
We have the budget review law reviewing today that the finance minister will bring up with all the changes that have been made in this case and we will see. What is known is there are cuts for 190m euros that will be the smallest”, Osmani has said.
According to him, it's about revenues, mostly about tools that have been envisioned by the AKP and by the investment clause that have been reduced.
Osmani has added that some expenditures that are more political and unclear for him should also be reasoned, especially those that broke the agreement with the IMF and have to do with increasing spending on the category of war veterans of 26 million.
There should be a powerful argument why this huge increase in this category, as it is exceeding 64 million for this category without involving the disabled who have 12 million. We fear what we've predicted that the budget for this category could go to 90 million, which is a very bad thing”, Osman said further.
He has announced that capital cuts have also been done around 44 million for various projects.
Osmani has stressed that it argues that contractual obligations should be met regardless of who is in the government and that it concerns the road to Skopje worth 50m euros that should be paid Bechtel Enca.
These are some of the biggest, and there are small movements in every ministry, and they've been touched, re-evaluated, and new systems have been made, but to see the minister think about how he is thinking of”, Osman is finished.
