He confirmed there would be employment from the number the Prosecutorial Council and the Clinical Hospital Service have requested.

“We dare not go into deficit”, Gashi said in the Kosovo Clan Info Magazine, adding that this is the condition and rules of the IMF that they must adhere to strictly.

I don't think there should be any reactions in the public sector because there's 90 percent all of it”.

As far as pension increases are concerned, he said there are schemes that have been growing over the years, but said it is not possible to increase them if social cases are rising ahead.

“is promised for a mandate and not for a year”, Gashi said of pensions, announcing that even these schemes will be viewed.

According to Gashi, development is a chain that should function well, and that no link should be broken, while for economic growth of 4.6% for 2018 said it is an increase for which many states would like to see.

It's the main thing not to fall on us, let's not fall below”.

He said stability has been maintained in recent moments, and will gradually be driven with further growth.

The key is to keep the trend, keep it at level”, Gashi said, adding that the year 2018 will be when stabilisation occurs.

As for taxes, he insisted there will be no tax increase, no VAT or profit tax.
