Government did not share budget for 15th anniversary footnote

For the 15th anniversary of Kosovo's independence, there will be 30 days of various festive activities.

However, for the manifestation of this important state date, the government has not shared additional financial means.

Kosovo Government officials have said there will be no central budget planned for marking the 15th anniversary of our country's citizenship.

According to the executive, there will be a kind of decentralised budget, where each of the management institutions of activities provides financial resources within its own budgets.

Kosovo Government spokesman Progress Kryeziu has said that due to numerous activities, the State Organising Council has agreed that each institution responsible for its own activities, the budget provides from its own budgets.

The Government's decision to establish the State Organising Council does not specify the budget. Because of the huge volume of accession activities within the Council has been that each institution responsible for its own activities, the budget provides from its own budget. So there won't be a planned central budget but it will be a kind of decentralised budget where each task host institution provides the budget within its own budgets, except when we have far greater budgetary needs then there will be additional divisions from the Ministry of Finance. In principle, however, we are talking about a significant budget”, Kryeziu stressed in a written answer.

The Kosovo government on Wednesday has presented the state programme for the manifestation of the 15th anniversary of independence and the 25th anniversary of the KLA Age.

Over the course of thirty days, between February 9th and March 12th, there will be activities for marking these two important and jubilee dates of Kosovo.

And during these days there will be no shortage of already traditional activities from the solemn assembly hearing to KSF's parades in Pristina squares.

On February 17th this time, a solemn meeting will be held by the Government of Kosovo.

Kosovo has declared its independence on February 17th 2008.
