Rama: Judges' salaries in Albania highest in the Balkans, equal to Greece

During ordinary videos on social networks, the head of the government said that there is law and a constitution that gives judges the right to raise salaries by 2-3 thousand euros a month.

You gentlemen demand 37m euros plus from the state budget to raise your salaries. That's the truth you play ball. Albanians should know that you ask for the First Scale Judge's salary to range from 3360 euros to 5300 euros, you ask that the Apel judge's wages go from the current 3480 euros to 5,500 euros. You want the salary at the Supreme Court to go 5800 euros”, Rama said.

“What makes this situation even more serious is that your salaries are higher, significantly higher salaries in the region than in northern Macedonia, than in Montenegro, and are equal salaries with judges in an EU country like Greece. Today we speak you have wages as much as in Greece and you want to raise by 23,000 euros a month, on behalf of what? You say in the name of the law and the constitution, this is independent, there is law and constitution that gives you this right and is written anywhere”, the head of the Albanian government said. /Periscope
