“Statistics manipulation, average political position wage

The head of the AAK's Parliamentary Group, Besnik Tahiri, has reacted to VV) MP Armend Muja, who said the average salary in Kosovo has reached 780 euros, saying that statistics from power are continuing.

Tahiri has said the amount Muja has mentioned may be the average salary of political positions, from the prime minister down to the minister's assistant, but not the state administration.

So the truth is, the greatest pay raise is political positions, cabinet advisers and municipal assembly members. See how a municipal official, including those in the ministry/agency, gets paid at the time of the price crisis, from the consequences of inflation. If inflation is imported, it has been transferred hand-to-hand (at products prices, services) to the state administration, which has suffered the biggest blow. Meanwhile, in the TM3 (2023) job force survey, it turns out that the declared average wage is between 400 and 500 euros”, Tahiri wrote.

Tahiri has drawn a comparison between salaries according to municipal positions and through ministerial or agency.

So here's how the average is drawn: minister's salary 16.4 que 110 (2024) = 1,804 and a technical official: 3.8 x 110 (2024) = 418 Both gather (1,804 + 418) = 2,222. We divide them with the number of wages calculated 2,222 com 2 = 1,111.

For the average, there's a story, I have two loaves, and we're two people, on average we have one bread, and in reality, one is hungry”, Tahiri wrote.
