Azem: It doesn't survive at 250 euros, even if it's 600 euros, the workforce is gone.

Kosovo Private Sector Union Chairman Yusuf Azemi has declared that with a minimum wage of 250 euros does not survive. Even today we have a minimum salary of 170 euros, despite having passed into the Kosovo Assembly to make the minimum wage 264 euros gross, but also to be in effect [...]

Even today we have a minimum salary of 170 euros, despite having passed into the Kosovo Assembly for the minimum wage to become 264 euros gross, but also to be in effect with 250 euros does not actually survive. We've really lost the battle if we do, but even the war we've lost”, is Azem saying.

And it tells of the time when they have demanded that the minimum wage be paid 450 euros, but that they have not been heard by anyone.

Because, as this requirement says, it is supposed to be done to fill our appetites.

When we demanded that the minimum wage at least be 450 euros, they haven't done it and they think we're doing it for our appetites. Right now, even if you make 450 euros, 500 and 600 people have made up their minds, the workforce has fled”, he added to Front Online.

The minimum wage in Kosovo is currently 130 euros for workers under 35 and 170 euros for workers up to 65 years.

The value of minimum wage in Kosovo has not changed since 2011 and is the lowest in Europe, according to the European Statistics Agency, Eurostat.

This law also changes tax steps in personal annual revenues, as well as the minimum wage setting procedure.
