Azem: We refuse minimum wage less than 400 euros

Kosovo's Independent Union of Private Sector will not accept minimum wage less than 400 euros. So said Independent Kosovo Private Sector Union Chairman Yusuf Azemi at a media conference, where he criticised the Government for failing to dialogue with the union.

Disinvention of laws in force according to Azem is the reason the country's citizens are launching the country, where it said within four months more than 200,000 citizens applied for Kosovo's release.

“I have to report to the sector sector sectors the evidence of Kosovo that in relation to social dialogue, we are not satisfied with the government we have and all the dialogue we have behind us primarily with the MSH that we have a part of the workers within the MSH and that the other dialogue is not behind us. The non-compliance of laws in force has caused private sector workers not to see themselves among us. You know that more than 200 thousand workers within four months have applied for work visas. What's more serious, in the past years we have after the departure of young people or some particular profession or we can say they haven't been engaged in the work process. And in the last year, we have escapes from working on certain professions, so they leave the country here”, Azemi said.

He said the workers' situation in Kosovo has made it even harder to raise basic but energy prices.

“The situation of private sector workers has also been serious, but rising inflation of 6.8 in some form has desecrated the expectations of these workers and they already have no hope of anything will change in a positive way. The reason has also been the increase in electricity that maybe we agree there will be a rise, but not these” lifts, Azemi said.
