Haradinaj funny: Once you meet the deputy ministers and ask them to work

Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj has informed his ministers about the labour report and the meeting he had with deputy ministers.

He has thus asked the ministers to get as many jobs as possible for their deputies.

I have held a meeting with the deputy ministers. I can tell you, most people, don't tell me that everyone has witnessed a degree of serious care at work. They brought the reports. It's mostly reports of their activities, engagement meetings, visits, jobs. What I've been looking for is that, in the future, I might even measure the effects, what happened to their work. And I requested the next report in six months. Every six months. I also have a prayer for the ministers, if you can coordinate with them more, for weekly chores, perhaps not daily, but weekly tasks. It's a good practice, after all, we can draw more good effects, for the citizens of the country from all colleagues. I'm convinced that even though that's what it is, that it's 74 people appointed vice ministers, still reasoning can be argued, if that's their job. I had begged you to give them jobs”, he said.

The prime minister also announced to his ministers that he will travel tomorrow along with President Hashim Thaci and First Deputy Prime Minister Behgjet Pacolli in Sofia to attend the EU summit with Western Balkan countries. He said they would represent Kosovo decently.

I will travel with Thaci and Foreign Minister Pacolli to Sofia tomorrow. In that first part, it's mostly some kind of a little agenide defined for me and Behgjet, but we'll be there. There's a Vienna Forum on the side, and we're together. There's another minister called "interoperability." Those who are there will be worthy of representing Kosovo. A couple of days we will be here in Kosovo, but we will remain in communication for whatever “, he said.

The government has also approved the proposal for the establishment of Kosovo's new energy company.

Economic Development Minister Valdrin Luka said the way is being opened to start with the competitive process, for construction of the “New Kosovo thermal power plant.

After signing the commercial agreement with December 20, 2017, for building new generation capacities, namely the Kosova e Re thermal project, today we are ahead of meeting one of the conditions that dates back to these agreements, and this is the establishment of the public company, Kosovo's new energy corporation, which will be signatory to the energy purchase agreement. Also as you are informed on May 19th, there is the effective conclusion of the commercial agreement. And as chairman of the project's Steering Committee, I have called a meeting for Friday at 11 o'clock where administrative procedures are expected to be carried out, enabling effective completion of these agreements. As it paves the way for us to start with the competitive process, for the construction of the Kosova e Re” thermal power plant, he said.

The government has also appointed director of the central procurement agency under the Ministry of Finance Behxhet Rukiqi for a three-year term. The government has appointed Nexmije Selimin, general director of Kosovo's accreditation, within the framework of the Ministry of Trade and Industry.

He approved the annual statistics report for 2017. It has adopted and draft the document's concept on environmental impact assessment, as well as draft concept of the document for the Kosovo Philharmonic, Opera and Ballet.
