This has recently been demanded by the mitrovica publicist Nedmedin Spahiu, who demanded “halve” of salaries, for ministers, deputy ministers, deputies, judges, prosecutors, mayors and university professors.
Kosovo's government, meanwhile, is detailing a 171m-euro Emergency Pack to help the country's economy, but being criticised for ignoring that package of cleanup workers (who have recently warned even protests) and journalists (many of whom, even have left work in addition to reducing salaries).
