He countered the news that he spent some 80 thousand euros on vacation in Switzerland, saying he spent only 7 thousand euros. Three days of family fun.
Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, with his return to Pristina by St. Moritz of Switzerland, even said there is money for two or three more such holidays, only there is no time.
But Haradinaj is prime minister of a poor people. A country where much of the citizens live in extreme poverty and poverty. With the highest unemployment rate in this part of Europe.
The same day Haradinaj was arguing that he spent his own money, and that only 7 thousand for three days off, from the Ministry of Finance has come the point that there is no way to support the Social Economic Council's idea of increasing the minimum wage to 250 euros per month. Currently, the minimum wage is 170 euros. Therefore, spending the prime minister with the family for three days on vacation is equal to more than 41 pay or 3 years and 5 months working a minimum wage worker in Kosovo he leads.
Just days ago, the chief executive in the country decided to raise itself and part of the prime minister's cabinet. He doubled his own. The move was strongly opposed by media and civil society, but also by different categories of employees in Kosovo.
On the other hand, education unionists' request replied that they cannot expect salary increases of more than 4 percent and that growth must be meritive. This sparked reactions from those who are threatening strike. Even civil servants today have called on Prime Minister Haradinaj “to remind mind” and increase their salaries. The actors, who had received promises last year that there would be increased salaries, feel cheated. They have also threatened strike, demanding that their salaries be levelled with those of university professors.
On the other hand, the Civil Society requires full transparency by Haradinaj, as the prime minister's salary -- even with an increase -- does not cover such expenses of a luxury holiday.
Online media reported that the prime minister's winter vacation has cost about 80 thousand francs, along with his five-member family and aid staff, which included the prime minister's close defence. Haradinaj was said to have stayed at the Hotel “Charleston” in Europe's most expensive tourist village.
