Government pays hundreds of Serbs without working at all, state budget damages over onem euros per year

“With the case of wage testing, the follow-up at work of employees respectively, it has been identified that 211 employees arranged in seven ministries have been paid year-on-year in a total amount of $1,014,005, without going to work at all”, the report said.

This staff, which was once part of the “Civil Protection”, a Serb parallel structure in Kosovo, was distributed through the ministry as a result of the 2016 Brussels Agreement, between Kosovo and Serbia, but that their introduction to the salary list was done before normal conditions were created for work. This problem has been present for years and we have given recommendations on this issue, but the same has not been addressed in 2020. The issue has remained unresolved and is being forwarded from year to year”, commemorating audiences, Infocus writes.

Systeming in Kosovo state institutions of these former Serb parallel structures was made in order to shut down their activities. But despite the fact that those structures receive wages without working at all, there has been no end to parallel structures. Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislim himself has confirmed this, following a meeting in Brussels during July. He has made it known that in the presence of the Serbian side has listed all of Serbia's parallel illegal structures in Kosovo, as in politics, security, education, health, economy and finance. “I have proven that in time Serbia has not worked on their extinction, but has empowered the same”, Bislimi has said.

Serbia from its budget has also earmarked 91.8m euros for financing parallel institutions and its activities in Kosovo.
