Position, Opposition Divided for Progress Report

The European Commission's Kosovo Report findings have been assessed as economically positive by the ruling party, but by the opposition have said the findings of this report are of concern to the country. The chairman of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, Ramush Haradinaj, has said that the performance of the current government is poor, including the issue of corruption.

It has been due to the approach of the government led by Prime Minister Albin Kurti, in relations with the EU and because of sanctions.

The assessment is expected to be many issues that are of concern to the country, and most of these concerns have been addressed. So the performance of governance is poorly regarded and there are also many phenomena that have been identified separately. You shallow the issue of corruption but there are many other questions,”, he said.

As for the issue Kosovo has not received the recommendation for starting negotiations with the EU, Haradinaj stressed that this has happened because of Kurti's approach to relations with the EU and because of sanctions.

That Kosovo has numerous remarks in this report and even PDK deputy Ferat Shala says. He told Kosovo Press that a series of serious remarks concerning the country's economic development have been seen in the Kosovo Report, which he added the executive decision-making factor should work harder on changing these development policies in the country.

As for corruption, Shala said the government has not followed the necessary steps in this direction.

Meanwhile, Vetevendosje MP Armend Muja for Kosova Preis has contrasting qualities in terms of this report. Muja said that the basis of the Progress Report, Kosovo continues to have positive elements in the economic aspect.

According to him, in the past two years, with the VV coming to power, the country has seen economic growth.

The European Commission's report on Kosovo published yesterday has also cost Kosovo the war against corruption and organised crime, stressing that our country is in the middle of an early phase in the fight against these two phenomena.

According to the report, Kosovo is in the middle of an early phase and a level of preparation in the fight against corruption.

This report also says that effective implementation of managerial accountability remains a challenge for budget users at both the central and local levels. Kosovo should ensure continued implementation of international internal audit standards and better delegate management competencies to public entities.
