Krasniqi government for budgetary division: The most vicious institutional discrimination since liberation

Chairman PDK, Memli Krasniqi, has expressed concern about the way the budgetary bill is divided through municipalities, calling it the most vicious institutional discrimination against citizens in Kosovo's history.

As the opposition leader points out, such approach of the Kurti Government is low political blackmail, so he calls on Vetevendosje deputies specifically, not to vote on such a draft.

Until the four municipalities led by the Vetevendosje Movement, the government has allocated more than half of its budget for new capital investments for 2024, for four municipalities led by the Democratic Party of Kosovo -- Ferizaj, Squnaraj, Kacanik and Hani Elez -- has not split a cent.

Gjilan, Zoom, Kamenica and Podujevo make up 11.6 % of Kosovo's population, while being split 59.5% of the budget for new capital investments.
Meanwhile, for all others, which are 88.4 % of the population, the Government has allocated only 40.5 %s of this budget.

This is the worst institutional discrimination against citizens in Kosovo's history since the liberation of our country.

Political culture in Kosovo needs to intensify and increase co-operation, not installing this culture of revenge and discrimination.

This approach of the Government against the citizens of municipalities, which does not lead the ruling party, is low political blackmail.

I also invite the deputies of Vetevendosje, along with those of the opposition, to fail to seal this discriminating proposal of government.

It is shameful and unacceptable to vote for such a budget”. ( *GAP Institute report)
