Kurt for the impact of pandemic in Kosovo: The poor man is easily sick, and the sick one easily becomes poor

At the opening of this edition, Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani said she is a participant in this event to confirm they will have her support to advance the green agenda.

The first to confirm that you will always have my support to advance the green agenda in Kosovo. Talking about the green agenda is the future, and in this regard our lifestyle should be directed. We believe in the green future and will work on living it. This is the wisest act. The future is green”, she said.

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti said the impact of pandemic on Kosovo's economy has deepened poverty and inequality.

The impact of pandemic on our economy has deepened poverty and inequality. We're working. Supporting young people and women, connecting the market with professional skills, social residences are some of the policies that will address the high unemployment and poverty levels. We all know how a poor person easily gets sick, and he easily becomes poor. Health insurance is a priority for everyone. Natural resources, rivers will be treated with caution”, Kurti said.

Kurti said waste management remains one of the most underdeveloped sectors in Kosovo.

When we talk about sustainable development we can't stop talking about education. Without quality education we cannot talk about sustainable development”, he said.

President Osmani and Prime Minister Kurti have refused to talk about the media about the meeting they have had with the special EU representative for the Kosovo dialogue today- Serbia Miroslav Lajcak and US Special Emissar for Western Balkans Matthew Palmer.

Both participated in the opening of the fourth edition of the Sustainable Development Week 2021.

“Here we are for green Kosovo, for others in other places and other times”, Kurti said. Meanwhile, Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani said she has already issued communications for this meeting for the media.
