Bajrami says 3.6 billion budget is unconstitutional

Democratic League of Kosovo MP Hykmete Bajrami is citing the budget approved for next year as unconstitutional.

As she says, since with the Law of Pays, increasing the amount of cofficiency, it is not legal.

”Budget has a problem, it's against constitutional because it speaks of the value of the cofficiency, while with the Law of Penitentiary, it is not allowed to increase the amount of budgetary Law cofficiency, but with the Law of Pays it is designed to change the monetary value of the coefinant”, Bajrami has said.

So she stresses that this budget is a transit budget, simply for January and February.

There is no amount of importance to how much they plan, because in the February 9th elections, a new government that is due in the first few weeks to review it and reflect the programme and the commitment they have made and I am sure it will be LDK government”.

And that for Online Economics, it gave another explanation, which you estimate with Kurti Government, happened for the first time.

The” has never occurred in Kosovo's history, with one under the budget Law being changed completely the appendix of another law. What is allowed in Article 33 of the Law of Pays is that each year with the budget Law the value of the cofficient” is determined.

While showing even criticism as to how majority never accepted any amendments from opposition parties during this mandate.

From the report with the amendments and reconfirming what we have said that how many years no amendments from opposition parties have been accepted, there have been amendments this is the fifth budget, let's not forget in 2021 it has been two budget reviews and planning for 2022. It is the fifth budget planned and no opposition amendment is accepted, Bajrami said, as he says the only one who has accepted it but has not been implemented by the executive has been the LDK amendment to the municipality's own revenues.

” Once accepted an LDK amendment that they have not implemented, it has been for the self-inflow of municipalities. This time around, the Board Commission has never accepted opposition amendments has accepted amendments to the Guxo group's deputies, which have established the president's office budget somewhere at 2.5m euros”.

” have accepted amendments to minority groups, several amendments and there are movements, no LDK amendment has been accepted, The PDK, AAK, and in these five budgets they planned, it is unprecedented because they have found no room for an opposition amendment to implement”, she said.

The former finance minister also received criticism for the lack of capital investments.

According to her, the budget for capital investments is equal to that of 2018, except with different budget figures.

It's not a realisation if we look at the past four years the budget for capital investments has not been realised, every year from the first year when we had 800 million budgets and now that we have about 930 million capital investment budgets has never been realised. For capital investments it's extremely low when it comes to central level because we've had a good realisation in municipalities. The budget for capital investments spent in 2023 is equal to the capital investment budget of 2018 but the gap is that the budget has been 1.8 billion, and in 2023 there has been 2.8 billion. It means we are stuck at the same level of capital investments”, Bajrami said.
