Daka: Minister Besnik Bislimi insulted us, overtime commitments paid

CEC Chairman Valdete Daka has said she feels offended by the financial minister Besnik Bislimi's statements. She has said the CEC staff is working overtime during the elections, and for that they have to be paid.

I didn't have to deal with the budgetary requirement or not, which for the sake of information even today, we don't have a government decision, nor adopted means, but I wanted to get in touch with the finance minister's statements, which have been offensive, not only to me personally, as the Supreme Court judge, but to all the KEC staff that I have to say and work for not only these elections, but since the independence of the Republic of Kosovo, for perhaps more than 30 elections have been taken for the entire Balkan region. The extraordinary elections require extraordinary commitment regardless of whether they are organised for a municipality or for all of Kosovo, because electoral operations are not different for a municipality and staff engagement is extraordinary and requires commitment outside the work schedule and, according to the laws, is guaranteed to all workers that any extra-time commitments are paid to”, Daka has said during the CEC meeting. /Periscope.
