Kurti delivers first speech as prime minister, opposition issues hall

The session's release was made shortly before the oath of the Kurti 2 government.

The new government Kurti has been elected by 67 votes for, 30 votes against and no abstention.

Prime Minister-elect Albin Kurti has said there will be no tolerance for misuse of official and public money duties, while his ministers have reminded them that they are to work and not to be rewarded.

In his speech after taking the oath as prime minister, Kurti has said his government's decisions would be based on fact.

You need to understand that in institutions you have been chosen to serve, not to relax and reward. Citizens expect to be guided by knowledgeable and competent people, and for changes we need co-operation, but new reforms need a new working mentality”, he has said.

Kurti pledged that he would be prime minister who will lead with confidence and principles in Kosovo's best interests, while having a message for MPs from his party and the government cabinet.

“Do not behave presumptuously against the opposition. While the government cabinet assumes the position as responsibility”, he said.
