Even this year without addition for children

Kosovo's children, as they remained for 20 years without extension, will seem to be spending this year without them.

While it was said that at the beginning of this year the children will receive their <x0pagat”, since the resolution of additions was voted in Kosovo, this has really not happened since the Ministry of Labour and Social Management has not yet drafted the necessary legislation for the resolution on the additions of children to begin implementing.

For that reason, it is still not well known how many children will benefit from this scheme, and it is not known how much the Kosovo budget will burden the distribution of additions.
Labour and Social Management Minister Skender Recica said that under the concept the pension paper is planned to establish the Social Insurance Fund, from which the fund will be funded the additions of children for employees, which, according to him, should be completed by 2020.

Recica has assured how the minister is taking the matter seriously, but according to him, it takes time for a literal legal framework.
With social reform covering the children of households in social assistance and with the law on the Fund for Social Insurance that will cover parental care for all the children who work and distribute funds for the Fund for Social Security in one way or another, all children with additions will be covered. It may mean someone who takes time but actually we've inherited a situation in terms of both pension schemes and social security and social assistance, and we're trying that within this closing reform within this year, eventually the first part of next year to find us with a whole other framework... I can assure the children of Kosovo that we're working devotedly on creating a literal legal framework where parental care will be treated, respectively, child support. I understand there may be demands, but building a literal legal base takes its time and we're working on a commitment and a high commitment“, Recica said.

The Labour Minister said that since the draft of the Social Assistance Law and the Social Security Fund has not yet been fully understood, the budget costs and the number of children that will benefit from additions are not yet known.

Now since we haven't started drafting these laws, of course we haven't been put into real analysis, of course the professional teams that have worked on these two commissions in these two working groups, of course have done initial budgetary cost analysis, but I'm saying that the budgetary cost for child additions will be known right after step by step... to talk about the exact number of children's additions is not the moment because we're on the legal framework, of course, which will open up the way and open up budgetary possibilities that we have the cost, but also the exact number of additions for the children, he tells them.

Linked to these delays, Kosovo Alliance for the Future MP Donika Cadaj-Bujupi says that in the event of delays in determining the amendment legislation, such a job will be done in Kosovo's Parliament.

“In the event of eventual delays we each have the opportunity that as an MP with our initiative to draft the law itself in parliament, it means that we can have legislative initiatives like the Parliament in case the Government doesn't proceed away... what I can say is that as Prime Minister Haradinaj has promised, and as we are all committed to the position and opposition deputies to bring the resolution out in question, we will find ways to and live as soon as we can, said Caday-Bupiw.

On the other hand, the connoisseurs of social affairs in Kosovo, though welcoming the initiative of MPs, say the proposed amount to separate for each child is too small, which also shows the state's small commitment to this category.

Psychologist Besnik Peci, even though this initiative considered quite delayed, says addition to the cost of 10 euros is not qualitative.

According to him, this proposed scheme does not stimulate growth in nighthood, so it advises the state to take the matter more seriously.

This approach is too late and it's not quality, support is not quality it should be taken more seriously because if it goes on with this low level of history with this high degree of Mortality after 15 years we've been left very badly in society and simply the main part of society is missing... Population growth, I think, would have to be supported by the state for the fact that great poverty has reduced the desire to expand the family and make more children, but social policies in our country are still far from the desirable one that simply these families had to be just overwhelmed, 10 euros don't represent any positive impact”, said psychologist Peci.

According to psychologist Besnik Peci, other more positive policies should be used that would affect the increase in the number of births in Kosovo.

MP Donika Kadaj-Bujupi's initiative turned into a resolution by the Kosovo Assembly envisions that every family will benefit 10 euros a month for the first child, 5 euros for the second and 2.5 euros for the third, while, according to MP Buyup, some 500 thousand children would benefit from the scheme.
