Pacolli: I didn't give my wife money from the state budget.

Pacolli in a response to his official profile has said neither his ministry nor the ministry leading Albena Resiti have provided any financial support for his wife.

In his reaction, Pacolli has also vowed a statement by his wife, Massha, who has expressed tremendous disappointment with the fact that someone is trying to attack her and her husband's political engagement.

Meanwhile, it is reported in the media today that three ministries of the Government of the Republic of Kosovo have financially supported an organisation of Begjet Pacolli's wife.

Full response:
I'm re-publishing a statement by Masha, my wife about the disinformations published today in some media.
In this context I am repeating again that neither the MPJ nor the Ministry of Environment have paid any activity organised by my wife. All that enormous work is a result of its work by collaborators and artists.
By reading the scriptures through Kosovo's online media a message concerning the financial support I was given to the Ibrahim Kodra Foundation from the Kosovo budget, I felt deeply disappointed and hurt.
I am disappointed that the tendency to attack my husband's work and political engagement includes me and my activity, deliberately distorting facts or serving with unverified information.
Kosovo's presence in the Venice Bienalen is organised entirely by Kosovo institutions specifically by the Ministry of Culture and with its organisation and me.
The foundation I run has nothing to do with Bienala.
My activity (the exhibition) has been held at the European Cultural Centre in Venice, among the most important centres in Europe, where the works of young artists from Kosovo and children affected by the autism of SOS Kinderdorf were presented. This seal exhibit stays there six months.
Preparations for this event have been starting since November of last year with the sole goal of Kosovo being dignified along with all other countries of the world.
My whole commitment is based on the great will to help raise the image of this country, which my husband also contributes to.
Being aware of the horrors Kosovo citizens experienced during the war period, through my activities, I try to be close to the women of Krushha, abandoned children and those suffering from serious illness.
I'm very disappointed to read such disinformations from the media that would be good.
The foundation, which I lead, has received only 5,000 euros in financial support from the Ministry of Culture for the payment of 15% of the exhibition space, and never from any other institution.
My whole commitment and foundation is based on personal finance.
No matter what immediate disappointments, I am happy to be able to make little contribution to building Kosovo's cultural image. Those who visit this centre will be able to see a part of Kosovo where the culture of countries with traditional traditions from the civilized world has been exposed.
