Kosovo's government is calling the conditions of the LDK absurd, not to give the pro-revising budget vote, though the latter have warned they already have two key remarks. The revised state budget will appear before MPs under initial scrutiny Wednesday. The Democratic League of Kosovo does not [...]

The Democratic League of Kosovo is not compatible with the current version of the budget revision, so it is setting conditions to give the vote, although they have not indicated what conditions it is about. Currently in opposition, but this party, which until a month ago led the Government, had prepared for the budget revision itself.

Abdullah Hoti, head of the LA Coalition Parliamentary Group, says that today they are also negotiating with their parliamentary group, and tomorrow what they have decided, they will present in the Assembly. Until LDK deputy Lumir Abdixhiku had declared they have votes for revising the budget with certain conditions.

But, Halil Matoshi, chief of the Bureau for Information at the Haradanj Government, calls the LDK's budget conditions absurd. In a statement for Express, he says budget review is the normal process and is passed to the Assembly with the simple majority.

“Conditions for the budget review vote, so correcting mistakes in the budget are absurd”, Matoshi has indicated, until he made it clear that he does not negotiate with anyone when the state's functioning is in question.

The LDK's severest response to the budget review was the separation of health insurance funds for veterans.

A budget that he receives from health and gives forged lists from militants supposedly veterans is not the budget of all citizens of the Republic. That's why I'm against”, he wrote Obadiah on a Facebook note. But that the PDK had attributed to former LDK ministers, saying health insurance had not been achieved because of them.

But Memli Krasniqi, chief of the PDK Parliamentary Group by not commenting on the LDK's budget charges, clarified that their coalition would vote for the budget revision.

With 5 votes to power and 3 against a abstention by the opposition, the version prepared by the new finance minister received the green light to surrender to the Parliament's Headship.

Kosovo's budget from 2 billion has been cut to 1.8 billion.
