(5 years ago)The chief of the Democratic Party of Kosovo Parliamentary Group, Abelard Tahiri, has filed three requirements for parliamentary debates on the alarming state of pandemic in Kosovo today.

Tahiri said the first debate to be held would be about the government's failure to provide anti-vivid vaccines. He said it was Albin Kurti's promise that 60 per cent of the population would be vaccinated within this year, but that his government has not yet secured even 60 single vaccines.
The head of PDK deputies said the second parliamentary debate would be held for organising education at all levels under these pandemic circumstances.
The “Viti we left behind was unfortunately lost year for our educational system. We cannot accept that even the year 2021 is lost for education and for generations of students who pursue schooling at every level. This is not a common subject. We are talking about 345 thousand students in pre-school education, 23 thousand teachers who are left today without a concrete plan, without support and without means to realise the education agenda in the country”, Tahiri said.
The third topic the PDK will seek to debate in the Assembly is the burdened economic situation by pandemic.
We have not seen any concrete plans and no concrete ideas about how the Kurti government will manage the consequences of pandemic in the economy. We have not understood what will happen to the Economic Regeneration Law that has been adopted in the Republic Assembly. Currently, we have about 600,000 unemployed citizens and thousands of businesses that are bankrupt during the pandemic. We cannot expect the economy, businesses and entrepreneurs to remain in the weekly mood of the prime minister or minister of health who decides to close the country for a week and two weeks without having a concrete plan for managing the economic consequences of this”, Tahiri said.
He said this is not a political battle against the government, but an address to topics related to the daily fate of citizens.
“Citizens pay taxes so that the government on their taxes provides solutions to problems like this. There is no greater priority for today than protecting life through inoculation, supporting the economy through subvention, and preserving generations through providing education”, Tahiri said.
