Three months of term set by Constitution for Kurti Government to change the provisions of the salary law

The ruling party says it has political will to change the wage law within the deadline set by the Constitutional Court, while remaining three months. But the opposition is not optimistic about a quick initiative to change this law. According to the opposition, the Government will extend the task, as they do, always.

 

 

While the Government of Kosovo has yet to have four months to change or complete some provisions for the salary law, lawmakers have not yet taken any action in this direction. But Vetevendosje Movement MP Agon Batusha said within the party there is political will for their change.

“We need to be careful during this process because if we do complete the changes that still cause some disappointment, it is not good to proceed without real tests. Of course we are ready, we will also contribute to working groups”, he told Rtv21.

 

 

Approval of the wage law had caused a wave of reactions, the opposition and trade unions deemed the needed. Meanwhile, after an analysis, the Constitutional Court estimated that some provisions of this law should be changed, so it gave the Parliament six months' time to do so. But the opposition says that even after that decision, it does not express optimism about changes.

The “we've said even when it's brought to the site that has multiple mistakes, there are after inequality, it's affecting workers' right in the public sector. The government is again delaying to bring the pay law to the country. It would be good to move as soon as possible to the Parliament and get the deputees' opinions to improve all finds that the Constitutional Court has recorded”, Bekim Haxhiu from the PDK said.

LDK MP Armend Zemaj said the government's negligence would harm public administration.

 

 

There are the same remarks that were said at the plenary hearing, but the government's inconsistencies, and above all, the nondialogic with unions and various actors that have followed real objections to what offered the budget has been binding, so the Constitutional Court has brought a merit decision. But we are seeing a negligence in this direction”, said Armend Zemaj.

The Law on Salaries in the public sector was submitted to the Constitution by the Ombudsman, following 104 complaints handed down by workers in various fields, organisations and associations.
