In its exhibition, Kurti has spoken about what he intends to do with the economy, education, health, army and other sectors.
This is his full plan:
The full word of Republika Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, held today as the exhibition of the governing programme in front of the Parliament's deputies.
honoured deputies of the Parliament,
Dear citizens of the Republic,
Other present,
Today is a new day for all citizens of Kosovo.
After many obstacles, expectations, and effort, what seemed elusive today is becoming a reality.
We are gathered here, in the republic's highest body to live up to the will of citizens expressed on February 14th, in a set of choices that were but a referendum, where people were clearly defined and the way our country wants to go in the next four years.
Just as they have voted, after the election of the Speaker and Headship of the Parliament, the people expect us to choose Government and other bodies so that we can start the big things ahead of us, without delay or obstruction, because the challenges before the new government are new and old, however many.
No doubt the pandemic remains the main challenge. Without wasting time, with the new minister of health, we will start a plan to bring invisibly over Ovid 19 with measures that reduce the number of new cases and lead to the elimination of cases of death. Within the year we aim to provide vaccines for 60% of the population, which will provide sufficient immunization to gradually begin transition to normal.
Justice, Health, Education and Economics all need reform that needs to start fast and prepare well.
In unemployed Kosovo each year is heavy for citizens, but the year we left behind has weighed more and more on those who are weaker.
The constant anxiety of finding a place of employment, of paying bills late in the month to obtain food on the table has been added to the pandemic.
I understand and know how difficult life is for most citizens of the country because we have high unemployment and poverty, but from today we will start a new path towards progress, reducing inequality and increasing opportunities for all. It will be a long and difficult road, but together we will reach the desired goal.
We'll start with reform in justice.
The property process will continue where it remained last spring. This process will be submitted to judges, prosecutors, inspectors and senior police and intelligence executives.
It will be a well-equipped, fair, transparent and uncompensive process to ensure that citizens have professional, impartial and independent institutions that provide justice and security for all.
An impartial, independent and professional judiciary is vital for our state and democracy to ensure and guarantee justice for citizens.
Education will be reformed.
Our schools have to go back to the country produced by innovative scientists and preparing new generations for global competition because our young people have witnessed since conditions can challenge their peers.
We will review the curriculum in early education by oriented it by the children's self-regulated skills and provide continued professional support to teachers in its implementation.
We're going to connect education with the labour market so we can make sure that the diploma provides a job and restore integrity and dignity to teachers and professors by turning professionalism into our schools and universities.
Universities will strengthen with the Research Fund, with more budgets and more support, and will stimulate student engagement through practical work in all public institutions in the country.
We'll reform the health system.
Modern infrastructure, working conditions for doctors, enough medicine for patients. We will seek professionalism and integrity from doctors and offer equal access to all citizens.
We will increase the health budget every year and invest in the development of preventative medicine, in that school, and much more so far than in family medicine.
Article 51 of the Constitution guarantees social and health protections, so we'll functioning the health information system, we'll provide health instruction and we'll license professionals to establish the Health Insurance Fund.
No one should go bankrupt in our country just because he gets sick.
The kids are our future.
The way we care for our children shows the future. Economic inequity will be fought by social schemes and economic development, but never should this inequality affect our children. Every child in Kosovo, regardless of where he was born and who is the parent is equal, and each should develop its master-made potential and talent. The state will guarantee this equality. So we will soon begin with the scheme of sharing additions for children and mother lehoon.
For children until 2 years, between 20 euros a month will be separated, and for children between 2 and 16 years of age, between 10 euros a month.
If a family earns less than 7,000 euros a year it will receive 50 euros per child, if it earns less than 6,000 euros a year it will split 100 euros, and if it earns less than 5,000 will share 150 euros per child.
For unemployed mothers and lehons, we will share the minimum wage of 250 euros in the first six months of birth.
) We will open some 160 new nests on this mandate and offer free food to students from first class to 5th.
Poverty in children is extreme violence. The children also endure it, but our country cannot bear it. No child will go hungry, nor be left behind. Even in poor families, let the children not be poor. Let children not need to wait for their entire family to get out of poverty so that they are no longer poor.
We'll develop the economy and take care of the workers.
We look at an economy that comes out of the pandemic, and is healed by many other diseases that have been followed so far.
An economy where there is more need and space for women, for youth, for exile, for communities, for villages, and especially for those who need more support from society and state.
A more productive and export economy, more workers, more job contracts, and more respect for workers' rights. One economy, whose progress benefits much more from us, an economy without monopolies, and public companies that function well and operate successfully.
Our entrepreneurs will offer them access to finances that are necessary to cope with production growth. For this we will create strong partnerships among the five pillars which together guarantee a relatively rapid exit from the current recession: state-owned companies the Kosovar Banking Fund for Credit Guarantee and the international donors' community and creditors.
Support will be added to all businesses that manage to create access to new international markets and increase Kosovo exports; to all entrepreneurs who open new production lines, introduce new products or, more importantly, manage to increase the number of workers.
Aside from preserving and increasing the number of employees, especially of women, young people, members of non-resident communities and families in social aid, along with increasing the formalisation of employment and respect of workers' rights, are our priorities not only in the flames of pandemics but also throughout our period of government.
Additional support will be for businesses in economic sectors that promote energy efficiency and preserve environments, entrepreneurs that enable food processing, wood, or promote country tourism.
We will be governments that empower women.
) In these elections we have proved to be the progressive and progressive movement by exceeding the quotas for women, and today in the Kosovo Parliament we have more women than ever before. So our government will without saving women, both through increasing their participation in the workforce and through its active support in entrepreneurship. Increasing the number of women-owned businesses is a prerequisite for strengthening the economy as well.
And if there's something we've learned from this pandemic then this is that agriculture is security and independence.
When borders are closed and free trade is stopped and sometimes stopped, we become dependent on others because the lack of local agricultural products puts our lives at risk. Thus, agriculture and agricultural products are only a priority, including national security issues.
Our agricultural lands will be protected as well as protected and assisted by farmers. We will begin with the introduction of reference prices for a variety of basic agricultural products, among them wheat and milk, thus guaranteeing stability in the market. We'll make sure the grants and subsidies go directly to the farmers, we'll increase supervision and increase quality controls.
The farmer will live with dignity with his work.
Sportsmen and artists are a blessing to the state within the country, while abroad they are our best ambassadors, so we will work hard to make them have the necessary conditions to realize their potential.
We're going to finance the projects for multifunctional sports centres and engage in child education through sports.
The National Theatre and City Theatres will guarantee regular financing and increased funding for artistic projects. Same for the ballet, the asmbly and other institutions, and we're going to begin to figure out the new National Theatre.
Cultural heritage will protect him. We will have permanent legal protection of cultural heritage assets, while the endangered legacy will be saved through emergency interventions and the empowerment of the Inspectorate.
Reforms in the Kosovo Police will start immediately with the adoption of the Law for Early Pension of Police Officials.
By this law, police officials will be guaranteed early retirement rights at the age of 55. In order not to damage the regular functioning of the Kosovo Police, law enforcement will be divided into certain phases, in which police officers who exploit the right to early retirement will gradually be replaced by recruiting more than 2,000 new police officials.
Like the Kosovo Police who provide security to us, we should give police officials vital and health insurance, as a right guaranteed for their important work but also under danger.
Strengthening integrity and professionalism in the Kosovo Police will be among our main goals. The high police management levels will undergo the property process, which will be implemented in all security and justice institutions in the country. We will make sure that, not only the Kosovo Police Inspectorate as foreign supervisor, but also the internal control mechanisms, such as the Directorate of Professional Standards and the Department of Audition and Procuration, have full independence in exercising their role.
We will file charges against Serbia's genocide crime at the International Court of Justice.
The establishment of the Institute for War Crimes Research, with clearly defined missions, adequate financing and with professional and competent people; strengthening the war crimes department within the Special Prosecutor's Office with a sufficient number of well-trained prosecutors and associates; establishing a special and specialised unit within the Kosovo Agency for Forenzic, which scientifically verify the facts and evidence of a special legislation for protecting the identity and data of victims of Kosovo are some of the actions we will take.
We will increase the capabilities and capabilities of the Kosovo Security Force:
We will direct defence policies to develop capacities to fulfill the KSF's primary task of protecting sovereignty and territorial integrity and to give priority to the KSF's combat readiness as it has the mission and duty.
There will be deepening and increasing bilateral co-operation with strategic partners in creating full military capabilities and capacities, especially with Albania and the US, and we will prepare to make Kosovo a member of the Adriatic Charter.
And until we work on domestic reforms, we'll also reform our access abroad.
Kosovo is an independent and sovereign state. The compromises that have been requested and that have been harmful have already been made with Ahtisaari's package as the price paid for declaring and independence. No other compromise can be made or done.
This should be said clearly and aloud at each table and at any meeting of us in order to repair the damage to citizenship in recent years that have affected new recognitions and the consolidation of citizenship.
Our orientation is clear. The alliance with the United States and transatlantic co-operation will deepen.
We will continue to work for Kosovo to become part of NATO and part of the European Union because we share common values and goals. The path towards EU integration may be challenging, but it has no alternative for Kosovo.
The Western Balkans must be democratised unless it has to develop. So there can be no development without democratisation as it is supposed to be achieved through some regional initiatives. Both must move parallelly within the framework of EU membership.
For integration and democratisation to be accelerated, we will insist on a Mini-Marsall plan from the EU for the Western Balkans.
Our neighboring reports will advance on the basis of reciprocity and good neighborhood.
With Serbia we have open issues that need to be resolved through dialogue.
The priorities in this dialogue is the solution to the fate of missing persons. We have 1640 missing persons. Serbia has not condemned anyone for this crime. At the Batajnica shooting range where 744 Albanians were exhumed, there are no memorial plaques or anything marking that there was a mass cemetery. But we are aware that about 1/3 of the missing, whose fate has not yet turned white, are not Albanians. 22 years after the war, all families need to know the truth about their family members to close their wounds and for us as a society to begin healing. No progress can be made in any other area unless there is progress in this area.
We need dialogue on the return of nearly 3 billion euros of stolen pensions from Serbia; on the return of over 400m euros stolen from electricity misuse, addressing war damages, debts and successes.
So the dialogue that addresses and solves existing problems, not creates new problems.
Without recognition of the reality of independent Kosovo and the acceptance of the truth on the part of Serbia, there can be no normalisation of relations between the two peoples and between the two states. My priorities are normalising Kosovo, developing and democratising it, justice for it and for it. Let Serbia also normalise by facing its past and democratising. We have twice declared Kosovo's independence from Serbia, on July 2, 1990, and on February 17, 2008. It is good for Serbia too to declare its independence from Kosovo, and to co-operate for the EU and NATO, the EU and NATO.
