Abraham: Comuns invested 240m euros ) operated much better than the government

According to him, realising investments in Kosovo municipalities has reached 82% of the planning, testifying to a high performance, though budgets have been limited.

He said this budget management model should be taken by the government as well.

“Even in budget planning, but also realising capital investments, the local level can be taken as an example of how budget is planned and spent, and this model should also be taken from the central level to show how to work. So, in terms of capital investments, municipalities in general have performed very well, despite the fact that they haven't had enough budgets for the realisation of many capital projects”, Ibrahimi added, reports. Express, broadcast Periscope.

On the other hand, municipalities according to him, last year, but even this year, have faced many financial problems because of the collective contract.

According to data, last year through the final procedures, the municipalities were seized from capital investments of over 60m euros, until this year alone for these months over 45m euros.

The “communs would have even more capital investments if they didn't have this problem with the implementation of the collective contract, where last year by capital investment means they received over 65m euros, until in just four months this year over 45 million. Many projects initiated by the central level have been left unfinished because the central level, arbitraryly, of capital investment means has taken out municipal means for collective contract payments. The central level has not helped municipalities in the matter, even though there have been many meetings”, Ibrahim confirmed.

During 2024, municipalities with the lowest level of capital investments have been Leposaviqi's with only 2%, until some municipalities have made it 100%. /Periscope/
