Government “Kurti” with about 150 advisers, about 2m euros per year for their salaries

However, the number of advisers, political assistants of this government is very high, even political opponents, often iron out that with this issue, a ʹdamma can be organized on the government balcony, as their number totals about 150 people who make up political staff, whose salaries amount to over 2m euros a year.

Over 1m euros a year go to the councilors of ministers of Kurti, while over 307m euros of salaries go to prime minister's councillors, over 210 thousand euros in state budgets cost the salaries of ministers' assistants, while for the heads of the ministerial cabinet, the state pays from its budget about 100,000 euros a year.

Prime Minister Albin Kurti himself has 26 advisers, even though he once said that only five would possibly suffice for him.

Maybe five counselors will be enough. 35 are as if it were none, or show some sort of fundamental disability of Prime Minister” himself, Kurti once said, until he criticized his predecessors at the top of the executive.

An adviser to Albin Kurti turns out to be paid 987 euros a month, or 11,884 euros a year, until Prime Minister Kurti's office chief pays 1,113 euros a month or 13,356 euros a year.

According to a simple calculation, it turns out that if all advisers of Prime Minister Kurti -- foreign and domestic -- are involved, it is due to Kosovo's budget for the current prime minister's 26 advisers, 25,662 euros per month or 307,944 euros per year.

“armata” of advisers in Government “Kurti”, tremendous budget spending

With the number of advisers and assistants, there are ministers of Prime Minister Albin Kurti himself.

A political adviser is paid a month of 945 euros, with the appointment of a salary coffient by Government Kurti.

Hic less than 76,545 euros costs Kosovo's budget, monthly payments to about 81 ministerial political advisers, or 918,540 euros per year. This is the cost calculated for the ministries that have the names of councilors public, but there are some ministries that keep “secret” advisors and refuse to answer their numbers and salaries. A political adviser is paid a month of 945 euros, with the appointment of a salary coffient by Government Kurti.

The VV-led ministries have over 31 assistants, where an assistant's salary is 567 euros per month or 6,804 euros a year. For 31 assistants through ministries from Kosovo's budget alone for salaries total 17.577 euros in monthly salaries or 210.924 euros annually.

Seven cabinet chiefs at the ministries are according to the ministry's statement on their official sites. A minister's cabinet chief's salary amounts to 1050 euros a month, or 12,600 euros a year, until the seven chiefs of ministerial cabinets spend 7.350 euros a month or 88,200 euros a year.

FrontOnline has requested information on the number of advisers and assistants for Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislimi and Deputy Prime Minister Emilja Rexhepi, but for more than two weeks, they have not returned to publishing this article.

Without going to other ministries at all, only Albin Kurti's first deputy minister of foreign affairs and diaspora, Donika Grovalla, has nothing less than nine political advisers, four administrative officials, four deputy prime minister administrative officials, a cabinet chief but also a driver. However, not even nine of its advisers seem to have managed to correctly advise Minister Grovall, who was sometimes noted for failure in her posts on the social network <x0X”, sometimes confusing the flags of friendly states and sometimes mistaking them.

Neither does the minister of finance, labour and transfer, Iron Murati. He has nothing less than four advisers, four administrative assistants and a cabinet chief.

Ejup Macedonia, the first to head the Ministry of Defense, has seven political advisers -- a cabinet chief of his staff.

Interior Minister Jalal Svecla does not fare badly with the number of advisers, but has half as little as Minister Gervala. Svechla corresponds to only three advisers, three assistants and a cabinet chief.

Arben Vitita, the minister of health, seems to have given up on this dictatorship. For his work, it seems to suffice the small number of staff. He has only four political advisers, two assistants and a cabinet chief.

What Turkish author Orhan Pamuk likes, the Minister of Education, Science and Technology, Arberie Nagavci, has nothing less than 6 advisors and two assistants, but as with Minister Gervalla, even in this appears to have not done enough, since this too had failed in the name of the great Turkish writer and Nobelist, Orhan Pamuk, in Orhan Pambuk, and the president Muhammad Tower called the Tower.

The minister, who often visits the country's north, Elbert Krasniqi, who heads public administration, has only four advisers and a cabinet chief.

Although involved in the energy field, much energy for its staff is shared by Artane Rizvanolli. She has seven advisers and two assistants.

The Ministry of Culture is the other minister with many advisers. Hajrullah Ceku, who runs culture and sports, is with advisers. He has eight advisers and two assistants.

The country's first justice to run nearly the most important dictatorship in the country, Albulen Haxhiu, in her cabinet, has six advisers and four assistants.

Without including here the Ministry of Industry, Undertaking and Trade led by Rosetta Hajdari, as the data is not on their site and we have not received answers from them even after we have sent questions to this ministry about the number of advisers and assistants to this ministry.

Pacolli: I had five advisers, one was paid personally by me, two were paid by the government and three on the outside.

Former deputy prime minister and former chief of Kosovo diplomacy, currently head of the AKR and MP in the Kosovo Assembly, Behgjet Pacolli, for FrontOnline, considers spending the country's budget on the part of the government irresponsible, as he says, to accommodate their family and friends.

It's irresponsible how citizens spend their citizens' money to accommodate their family and friends who haven't done anything but big wages, 2/3 cars with civilian license plates...

MP Pacolli says that when he was deputy prime minister and foreign minister, he had only five councilors -- two pro-bonds paid by foreign organisations, two paid by the government, and an adviser he himself paid from his personal money.

I've had 5 (two bond pros (paid by outside organisations) two paid by the government and one that I paid myself for, with my own money I declare Behgjet Pacolli.

Lekaj: When I was minister, I had fewer counselors and assistants than these Kurt ministers.

AAK deputy head and former infrastructure minister Paul Lekaj, for FrontOnline, the high number of political advisers and assistants, the government and current ministers see it as sensitive issues.

The large number of advisers and assistants is a sensitive issue, especially when viewed in the context of previous criticism by the Vetevendosje Movement for Overloading Governments in past governments, he says.

Lekaj, points out that by the time he was minister, the number of advisers and assistants was much smaller.

When I was a minister, the number of advisers and assistants I held was much smaller, focusing only on those with particular expertise in key areas to support the ministry's top priorities, he says.

The AAK deputy chairman says a cabinet in charge not only increases the cost of the state budget but risks creating bureaucracy.

My comment on this current situation will be summed up this way: A overloaded cabinet not only increases costs for the state budget but also risks creating more bureaucracy, hindering the efficiency of work and the implementation of policies needed for citizens, Lekaj points out.

MP Lekaj says the government should be more careful in this regard.

The government should be careful to maintain a balance between the need for expertise and for an affordable structure that does not burden the public without reason.

Matoshi: Government advisers “Kurti” have higher costs than that of “Haradinaj”, wages are higher

Political analyst Halil Matoshi for FrontOnline says five advisers would also function the idea of Prime Minister Albin Kurti, but that those advisers would be expert witnesses.

This is what Kurti says about five councillors might work, but they should be experts to testify, Matoshi says.

He has also spoken of the number of advisers at the time he was adviser to former Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj.

At the Haradinaj Government, there were a total of 147 advisers (excuse it was unreasonable) of the prime minister and ministers without including in this figure the number of other officials, staff chiefs, cabinet chiefs, protocol, directors for information, sector directors and their assistants) he says.

Analyst Matoshi points out that Haradinaj's councillor salaries were worth as much as the government Kurti today has, even though the number of Haradinaj advisers was higher.

So, pay kWPrime Minister and Ministers' swings total 1.5m euros, roughly how much do they cost Kosovo advisers Government Kurti today? Actually, this number of advisers is large and useless, because they have to be much less, but the most skilled professionals in the country, he says.
