In an interview for “Koha Ditore”, he spoke of nepotism in institutions, saying that political parties have become subx2>agenic employment”, where young people “instead of reporting to Employment Centres receive a party booklet and enter quick process to occupy a position in the public sector”.
Demi, who is policy analyst at the GAP Institute, has ironied with calls from political party leaders who have been in power to respect the law in terms of employment, saying that until the violation enabled them to capture positions in civilian service, law enforcement allows them to preserve them.
During the interview, Demi has cited the fact that Britain's Embassy has spent millions of euros helping recruit meritiers to leadership positions, but that it has been mismanaged by Kosovo institutions. It has said that in many cases Government and Parliament, in some cases, have legitimised family and party employment, declaring the process has been supervised by the embassy, even though the latter in some cases has not been of reconciliation with the selection.
KD: After declaring Independence, a special budget Fund was created to attract deficit field experts to work for public institutions. Have you observed and appreciated the whole process?
Demi: In December 2008, at the recommendation of the GAP Institute, the Government approved the Framework Fund, whose purpose was to attract and keep experts in key deficit positions in civil service, which were only leaving the public sector due to low wages. The fund amounted to onem euros and had 222 beneficiaries. From the beginning, however, the Government did not implement the Fund the way it was conceived. Benefiters from the Fund were appointed political, family members of politicians, basic education, and did not possess knowledge of any foreign language.
