It remains to be done for advancing the rights of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgiar and intersect community (LGBTI) in Kosovo. LGBTI rights, as a topic of discussion, have had an increased presence in public debates, although they continue to be discriminated against by society. The Pristina municipality has taken a step towards advancing the rights of this community.
Pristina's Municipal Assembly has approved the municipality's 2021 budget and mid-term budget framework for the period 2021-23.
This point was approved by 26 votes for 5 abstentions by all political party groups, besides the Vetevendosje Movement that abstained, writes the news.net.
The budget amounts to 86m euros.
While most of the LGBTI community is forced to live a secret or double life with continued fear of discrimination, the Pristina municipality is aiming to make the community's activity more public.
The municipality of Pristina's Directorate of Goodness in its 2021 programme has seen the construction of a housing shelter for persons belonging to the LGBTI community.
This project figures in the budget, which was adopted yesterday in the Assembly. 300 thousand euros are earmarked for the construction of the shelter. Meanwhile, the location for the construction of the shelter has not yet been finally scheduled.
