Five PSDA conditions for budget vote 2019

Sejdiu, in his address, has said the Social Democrat Party has carefully examined the draft budget law and that there are differences in how priorities and lack of a development approach are defined.

We've also spent these on our discussions during the review of the budgetary division bill! In the situation that Kosovo is in and where it is expected next year to be where we believe that the final agreement can be reached with Serbia, as well as given that we already have state delegation on this issue, we consider that the function of the Republic of Kosovo in this period of time does not dare under any circumstances remain hostage to Serbian power instruments, respectively its Kosovo instrument, Serbian List”, Sejdiu said.

It has said that the “is quite clear that the political responsibility for the normal non-functional functioning of the Government of Kosovo has the prime minister and the government that buried itself since the founding of this Serbian political instrument, the Serbian List”.

“We do not agree in any circumstances that Kosovo's budget, salaries, investments and other development orientation, however problematic they are, stop or stumble from Serbia, even today 20 years after the liberation of Kosovo”, Sejdiu has said.

Sediu has said that in principle we can support the draft budget, we as the PSD have 5 concrete requirements for which we expect public commitment from Kosovo's prime minister, prior to the vote on this draft budget:

The Law on Salaries is passed in second reading, along with the second reading of the draft budget, so at the same session!

The Law on Dialogue to be adopted in Government and sent to the Assembly no further than Monday, that is, 24/12/2018.

The Law on Government be brought to the Assembly for approval no longer than 3 months from now! This law should unequivocally specify the issue of the number of deputy ministers for a ministry. Our concrete request is that there can be no more than 2 . Minister for Minister.

Your Honor, Prime Minister, we're looking for you to complete functioning of the Ministry of Agriculture! Keep in mind that the main import is food, food processing industry, and that Kosovo farms need strategy and guidance that builds capacity for vv. To imports, to sustainable economic development, to new jobs! Consequently, we seek the release from the duty of the Minister of Agriculture who is not exercising this duty, as well as the appointment of a ministry that functions the Ministry of Agriculture,

The Honored Prime Minister, the Republic budget draft is too busy with social and pension schemes. There's 465m euros in it for such schemes! Like the PSD, we remain convinced this budgetary burden can be reduced!

I have several times in this assembly spoken the way forward to make sure that we have a real pension system, with whom we can make a pension code, which defines the contribution of each of us, but also the retirement benefits, which should be enjoyed by those deserving pensions and at the same time clear lists of potential abusers. So our last requirement is to establish a special Commission for drafting the pension code and complete reform! This commission should be led by PSD”, Sejdiu has said.

PSD requests Haradinaj has named them rights, and they can be ignored.

The honoured “Sejdiu, you at the time when the Serbian List has tried to condition Kosovo, you have really taken a principled stance, attitudes that have enabled the country and the Government to walk on some of the topics that matter like the army is. The demands I make today are fair, and we in question as the governing coalition receive obligations to those demands as shallow as you. So, on Monday that comes, we also start with the implementation of the first one, with the government's dialogue law vote and bringing it here”, Haradinaj said.
