“Workers in Kosovo most unprotected in Europe in 2024”

Kosovo Business Alliance Chairman Agim Sahini on International Labour Day has said workers in Kosovo are the most protected in Europe for 2024.

Sahin has also said that even though Kosovo has the youngest population age in Europe, the labour market is aging and becomes poorer every day.

Kosovo has a younger age of population in Europe, and the labour market is getting older and poorer every day. Workers in Kosovo are the most unprotected in Europe in 2024 for many reasons: they don't have health insurance, they don't pay you risk in the workplace, they don't have collective agreements and they're not involved in it, the average and minimum wage in Kosovo is the smallest of the Western Balkans and Europe, for these and many other reasons within the past five years of Kosovo have fled over 200 thousand citizens with regular documentation, but there is no precise information, but it is a significant figure of”, Sahini said.

UN head Agim Sahini says Kosovo government should call the Social Economic Council as soon as possible The ECS to improve labour market legislation so private and public sector workers can have insurance and increase minimum conditions with average European standards.

Kosovo's “Unions are even politically distributed and have no authority in workers, nor in social partners. Today when it takes employees to fire and protest their rights, they're in the workplace over 50% who don't respect May Day Day party, even though it's international holiday”, Sahin said.
