“Pensions aren't enough for drugs either, 500 euros look like social aid”

Pensioners have expressed their concerns over the level of pensions, saying monthly income is not enough to cope with the increase in the cost of living.
They said pensions should be increased, as the current is not enough for their medicines either.
According to them, a pension under 500 euros resembles social assistance.
Pensioner Bislim Ademi told Online Economy that pensions are very poor.
Very few, poor pensions are. They said they'd give more, but you don't know, what they did. No. That's more, we've been given something akraba or somebody, we're kicked out, retirement doesn't just go out for medicine, but for coffee somewhere, that when you get rid of”, he said.
Ademi says the pension should be at least 500 euros.
Mot has spoken of growth, but listen to her, she's not getting away with it. Nada Inshallah raise her pension, nobody talks about her. But the pension of at least 500 euros -- at least as much as 500 euros -- is given to me, only to have it realised”, he said.
While other pensioner Isuf Islami stated the pension is not enough to cope with expenses, adding that a pension that is less than 500 euros resembles social assistance.
The pension is not good enough with the family, the children are fulfilled, otherwise it has to be spared. My pension is relatively good, but the depreciation is not enough. Of course you should, yeah. It's a legal duty every year if it changes, but they're talking before campaigns usually, but then they're forgetting. You see, less than 500 euros, then it's more like social assistance. 500 euros and more where possible, for example. I'd already said about a minimum 500 euros, which was”, he said.
The pensioner Muharrem Zaberrgja, however, says pensions should be raised with certainty.
For one person, they are getting better, two or more is not enough. They're kind of going according to their needs. The lift is definitely needed, we are waiting until convenient conditions are created. But somewhere there's 500 euros it could make to exist on average, not good or bad”, he said.
The age pension in Kosovo is 150 euros, meanwhile, the pension taxpayers are brought from 218 to 318 euros a month, depending on the degree of education.
