Account is required for 116 thousand euros the Parliament spent on official lunch

Parliament Secretary Ismet Krasniqi said that 95,6%, goods and services 77.24%, municipal services, 82.1%, capital expenditures 29.74% are realised.

“To spend goods and services we have less expenses because it is known that in 2017 we have had deregulation of the Assembly and the money expenditures for MPs could not be implemented, while capital spending has become an expense outside of our planning, but it is a destiny that the Parliament has followed procurement procedures”, Krasniqi said. While he said some projects have failed, the material supply for the 140 thousand-euro office is not complete.

Naser Osmani, from LDK, proposal not to spend on photocopies of letters because, according to him, it is an additional cost and that each MP can read online materials.

He called this method of documenting a primitive way.

There's always expenses for offices, we need to start with saving administration expenses, photocopies that are so spent, there are letters that we don't need, and on the other hand every year we get a computer, it's a secretarial issue that we make a program that all of these cards don't have to be loaded, we have computers each with separate programs, and we're providing primitively with letters”, Osman said.

Lumir Abdixhiku, chairman of the Commission, requested clarification for the cost of 116 thousand euros for official political staff lunch.

Show what these costs are for official lunches. Are they just political staff or others? I don't know why lunch institutions, for someone when working in private companies?

“staff organizing high-level meetings, protocol officials of another state when they come to meet with our officials”, the Secretary of the Assembly has said.

This report received 6 votes and was sent to Headship. The Commission also approved the report of the Free Juridical Assistance Agency, why the directors of this agency stressed the need for financial support even more. The Law on Religious Freedoms was also passed without debate, since there are no financial implications.
