Avni Arifi for spending over 50,000 euros: Spending on dialogue is covered under my name

Avni Arifi, Kosovo's ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, has reacted after news of spending over time at the prime minister's office.

Time.net, has published a news release from Mr. Arifi, where more than 50,000 euros have been spent on him at the time of Haradinaj's cabinet chief.

In the meantime, Arifi via a Facebook status writes that many of the expenses of dialogue that were created in 2018 were covered by ZKM under his name and the folder he had.

The outgoing government had no ministry for dialogue, as was the previous Government, nor a special fund for talks as always there. Many of the expenses of the dialogue that were created in 2018 were covered by the ZKM under my name and the card I have been behind. Also, in some cases bills of joint cabinet events were covered by my card. To regret the way you explain spending on the Prime Minister's Office, and even worse the classification of expenses. With such a totally scandalous classification, every conclusion is understandable even when it's incorrect”, he writes.

We Kosovo's daily press has coveted my name as a budget protagonist during my 20-month stay in the prime minister's office. I want to state that these are not the expenses of Avni Arifi and not only the chief of the prime minister's staff, but also the chief of chief of the talks with Serbia. The outgoing government did not have the ministry for dialogue, as did the previous government, nor did the special fund for talks as always had. Many of the expenses of dialogue that were created in 2018 were covered by the ZKM under my name and the folder I had. And in some cases, bills of joint cabinet events were covered by my card.

I regret the way the Prime Minister's Office explained spending and even worse the category of expenses. With such a totally scandalous classification, it's understandable every conclusion even when it's incorrect.
