Next week, Rikallos dismissal is expected at PSD) request

During December, Kosovo's Assembly only managed to approve the draft budget for 2019.

It is expected that the budget will be introduced day for second reading vote during the third week of January.

But, the position does not have enough votes for the budget's approval, as even in the first reading it is dependent on the votes of PSD deputies.

The PSD, in its first reading, voted for the budget, but conditioned it on reducing the number of deputy ministers to two, the dismissal of Agriculture Minister Nenad Rikalo, the creation of a separate committee for the pension system, and the same being led by the PSD, as well as the passage of the Law for the Salat.

But, in a response given by the prime minister's office, it has been said to date, no steps have been taken.

Prime Minister Haradinaj has said that all PSD demands are legitimate, meaning they have legitimacy and that they will be addressed. Before the end of the year there were other topics that required commitment. Whenever there is new news in this regard, you will surely be informed in time.

Sources from the Koha Ditore newspaper have said that after the holidays -- the first requirement to be introduced in a daily order -- is the dismissal of Minister Ricalo.

While, president of PSD, Shpend Ahmeti, has said of KTV that he does not know when Minister Ricalo will be fired and reiterated that the budget will be voted only after meeting the requirements.

And in cases of budget failure within January, then the Assembly could function with the budget of 2018 even in February and March, each with the approval of the assembly.

But that, according to Berat Thaqi from the GAP Institute, would cause problems in capital projects.

The Haradinaj government has 79 deputy ministers.

In just one year, 79 deputy ministers -- for wages alone -- cost the state budget more than 1 million and 90 thousand euros.

If 22 ministers hold only two deputy ministers, then their number will drop to 44, 35 less.

In March of this year, the Serbian List, with its deputies, has come out in opposition, but ministers have continued to exercise duties. Even so, they have not reported to the Government Convention.
