Ismaili: Kurti seeks money from diaspora, risks financial source of households in Kosovo

Secretary - General The PDK, Uran Ismaili, has said that the way Prime Minister Albin Kurti is asking them before the Albanian diaspora is shameful.

Ismaili said Kosovo has 460m euros in the State Treasury. Also, there are 662m euros planned for capital investments.

So there are over 1.1 billion euros that can be re-programd and exploited for pandemic and the economy at this time of crisis”, Ismaili said.

Full statement by Ismaili Bridge:

A generous door and a large heart of our diaspora, which has kept Kosovo alive for decades, today is trying to be used shamelessly and unnecessarily by Prime Minister Kurti.

It is very dangerous, for families in Kosovo and for the country's economy, for the state to charge money from the diaspora. Just like Albin Kurt did yesterday. With a video.

The diaspora assistance should focus on their families, because at this time of the pandemic crisis, most families in Kosovo are unemployed and their income has been suspended. Family economies are in danger. They need help, from the state and from the diaspora. If a person can send even 1 euro to Kosovo, he should send it to his family or relatives. The effect of helping the family economy is also a state aid. With money for family economies, demand is kept alive and the country's economy is stimulated.

The state of Kosovo is not poor enough to ask for money from the diaspora. The problem is we have a poor Prime Minister in the head of ideas.

Today, Kosovo has 460m euros in the State Treasury. 46,000,000 euros. Ready. Also, there are 662m euros planned for capital investments. 62,000 euros. So it's over 1.1 billion euros that can be reprogramd and exploited for pandemic and for the economy at this time of crisis.

Seeing Kurti Government's inability to cope with the economic crisis, The PDK has come up with the plan for economic recovery. Because, the economy, like health, is for everyone and everyone.

Kosovo is part of the IMF, the World Bank's EBRD and can receive soft loans in these institutions, and can also exploit the possibility of borrowing in the domestic market. Kosovo has the lowest public debt in the region. In times like this, nations with the most powerful economies in the world are entering debt, while Kurti Government seeks financial assistance from the diaspora. How logical. What a disability.
