Government shuts down for minimum wage

He set off in the hall, but he's keeping quiet. The Ministerial Pagan Bill is not being mentioned at all, nor is it about four months after it was adopted in principle. For the initiative, which makes Kosovo the smallest salary 250 euros, no solution has yet been found to be brought to the Assembly for approval, with or without the demands of even the pension of war veterans.

The organizations of this category and the government have not even agreed on the subject, nor after certain attempts. The first want pension increases, while rejecting government bids to draft the law that starts verifying veterans' lists and enabling their employment.

If the same bill goes on vote again, OVL says the June scenario could be repeated. Emin Lati from O VL- The KLA in Skenderaj told Klan Kosova that in the second reading, they will again protest before the Parliament if they are not included in the bill.

If it does, the opposition has not decided yet. But Ferat Shala of the Democratic Party says that the stance for the minimum wage to be higher has changed. According to him, this draft does not respond to the current situation with inflation.

This initiative would have to be put in line before the Bill for Salaries, assessing economist Mustafe Kadriaj, as the cofficients are based on minimum wage.

The bill, increasing the minimum wage to 264 euros for workers, passed in principle on June 14th, under numerous obstacles inside and outside the assembly. The current salary is 170 euros.
