Kurti for minimum wage: We can dance from 170 to 500 right now, reason with the past.

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has spoken of the possibility of raising the minimum wage, where he has said this salary could become 500 or 400, writes Periscope newspaper. Kurt has mentioned how much this pay has been for a decade and how much his vow has been. “for a decade has been 130 [...]
Kurt has mentioned how much this pay has been for a decade and how much his vow has been.
For a decade it was 130 to 170. We said 250 on our vows, now we're doing 264. Bruto, Neto is 250 after the pension contribution. It means that from 130 to 170 to 250, it's a huge increase in minimum wage and we can't allow it, that there are theories and economic calculations on this thing, so that the minimum wage can exceed a high percentage of the average salary that experiences macroeconomic disorder then. So you have to raise the average salary to raise minimum wage. We can do as much as you want the minimum wage, but it won't be implemented. (With 264 euros will it be implemented?) Yes, it will be implemented and will not make macroeconomic disorder in Kosovo that if I am not wrong, there is a formula under which the minimum wage will by no means exceed 56 per cent of the average salary. I'm not sure about that, but I know there's a formula that we need to be careful about”, Kurt said at RTK.
The first of the government has said it cannot jump from 170 to 500 even to 400.
We have to meet with them again, but look, I'm pointing out once again that people have different needs, so in this country they've had a lot of rights and dignity for a very long time, but why it's now Kurt Government can't jump from 170 to 500. It's not even 400. It's not possible. So desires are legitimate, but absurd expectations cannot be reasonable. So, as the Government of the Republic of Kosovo, we have said in the campaign that will be 250, now it will be 264. Believe when our economy grows and your average salary grows, do you think we're not going to take the revision to raise the minimum wage? Of course, yes, but the average salary has to grow, our economy grows much more than that”, Kurti said. / PERISCOP
