Can't and shouldn't be allowed: Tahiri reacts to lowering salaries of judges and prosecutors

According to the chief of the PDK Parliamentary Group, this wage reduction has nothing to do with the budget, nor with savings, but, as he says, this is the prime minister Kurti's attempt to create an identity crisis against these officials.

The salary reduction of judges and prosecutors has nothing to do with budgeting, savings, or legitimacy. This decision is Albin Kurti's deliberate attempt to create an identity crisis against those who work daily for order and law”, Tahiri wrote on Facebook.

Tahiri said this decision also has an institutional and constitutional critical dimension because through it it has been laid the basis for reggression in the belief of impartiality, dedication and institutional justice, and the constitutional principles of independence of third power have been violated.

The effort to subordinate this power through lowering wages and games with salaries is in fact not only effort. Persecution is first. This can't and shouldn't be allowed”, he added.

Tahiri said that today the prospect of justice bodies was overturned to work as independent, undiscreeted and to enforce the law as defined in the constitution.

“in the last 10 years, Kosovo institutions have built a perspective in which justice bodies work independently, impartially, implementing law and justice as the constitution defines and receiving adequate and merit compensation for their work. Today, this prospect was overturned by the prime minister, who is overturning everything literally, in the face of the non-conventional offensive with which he has approached rule”.

According to him, in times of inflation and economic stagnation, a responsible government would have to increase wages rather than lower them, even not just for judges and prosecutors, but for the entire public sector.
