Shpend Ahmeti promises 1.5m euros annually for capital farmers

The Pristina municipality, 90 percent of its surface, has rural areas. Over the past four years, we have established the Agriculture Directorate so that we can help as many Pristina farmers as possible through subsidies and grants.

So Pristina chairman Shpend Ahmeti has declared during the visit he made to several greenhouses that have subsidised the municipality in Pristina villages.

“A large portion of land in Pristina is category A. These products, through the local product market, reach citizens who are interested in buying them. A year and a half ago, we signed contracts with the Austrian government and Austrian Development Agency. ADA, agricultural grants. We in addition to 500 euros in subsidies, provide another 500,000 euros for grants, as well as the Austrian government will provide another 500 thousand euros. With these concrete steps, we have managed to increase financial assistance to our farmers, to 1 million and 500 thousand euros a year, Ahmeti said.
