The Kosovo government will address all recommendations of the Constitutional Court following the abolition of the Law for the Salaries from the latter.

First Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Tahiri at a media conference said that where the Constitutionary has suggested correction will operate in all categories and where it is recommended for the evacuation of provisions to act.

Whatever is not disputed as a case by the Constitutional Court decision will be addressed as such and remain. But it will be looked at for separate categories and where there are recommendations for correction, we will immediately start, and also recommendations that require the removal of some” provision, he said.

Kosovo's Constitutional Court has abolished the Law for Salaries on June 30th, as it is not in line with the Constitution. Under the Constitutional Court ruling, public officials will not receive increased salaries under the Law, which was adopted in 2019.

On December 6, 2019, the Law on the Salat at the Constitutional Court had sent the ombudsman to assess his compliance with the Constitution. The salary law was passed in February that year. This law regulated salary increases by 70 percent of public sector workers, while 30 percent remain abroad.
