 The prime minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, is participating in the Symi Symmy Symi Symmy, 24th in Athens. On the first day of the symposium, Prime Minister Kurti discussed war applications in Ukraine at the <x0). The new strategy for delaying the EU accession of the Western Balkans? Options and scenarios”

In his discussion, the prime minister stressed the achievements in the first year of governance, improving economic and democratic indicators, as he said, as the result of institutional stability

We had a very good first year in the government after last year's plebiscious victory in February of last year. We've had institutional stability that enabled us to have economic growth of 10.3 percent gross domestic product, The first digital increase ever after the liberation, in 1999”Kurt said.

This was a year of economic growth and anti-corruption, of the Social Democrat government with institutional stability. We've had the Economic Resurrection Pack, 7 percent gross domestic product for those who lost their jobs, for job profile, local production, export growth, family support, support for health workers and police during the COVID-19 pandemic, and more and more”, Kurti said, as he spoke of the economic situation in Kosovo.

We have done our public education at the university level and have especially increased the number of scholarships for girls students in STAM and minority. Because students are generally better than students, but after graduating they end up in the public sector, where wages are pretty low, while boys go to the private sector, where wages are higher, especially in the IT sector.

In the medium term we see this as a social gap that we want to prevent. That's why when we're dealing with STAM studies we're giving girls great priority. We've increased the budget for hectare subsidies and are supporting agriculture like no government before us. We are ending informality and monopolies in the economy, we have seized 1.1 tonnes of narcotics, destroyed 54 criminal groups, 270 state and public officials have been arrested for corruption and abuse of office in the first year of our four-year mandate.

We believe that Kosovo is a double story of success. On one side is the success of NATO's 1999 intervention to stop the Serb genocide of the Milosevic regime. It was worth the intervention in Kosovo. And so are we.success in combining economic growth with quality democracye. Because as we know, there are some superpowers who want to prove that economic development does not need democracy, in fact, that autocratics is better because it brings certain stability.

But we are witnessing that the economy and democracy can walk together and that's very important because it's a very big effort around the disk, about the Narrative in the century. 21. We are not a very big country, but we are a very good example of economic development and qualitative democracy moving together”, he said. /Periscope
