However, the chairman of the Union of Independent Trade Unions of Kosovo (BSPK), At and Hykoki, emphasises that it is up to the Economic-Social Council (KES), which is founded by the Government, what the minimum wage will be and ultimately be approved by itself.
“The ECS consists of three partners, the Kosovo government, employers and employers, the minimum wage comes out of the three-party council, we have had discussions that have come up with two proposals that have not received Council” votes, Hykoli told RTK.
According to him, the minimum wage was set in 2011 and has been a discriminatory salary for workers in Kosovo.
If there had been a discussion at times, we would have a more reasonable salary today. We think the minimum wage should be reasonable for Kosovo workers, for that the commission decides. That proposal we appoint and we submit the proposal to the government”, he said.
Based on Article 86 of the Labour Law, the main factor to be considered during the minimum wage setting, is the cost of living expenses, then the percentage of unemployment rates, the general situation in the labour market, and the level of competitiveness and productivity in the country.
Otherwise, private sector representatives have proposed that the minimum wage be no less than 400 euros.
