The current minimum wage in Kosovo, set at 425 euros for full-time employees, is not being consistently applied. Technical workers and private sector representatives report that numerous workers are still earning less than this amount. Justice advocates express serious concerns regarding this situation.
Despite the planned wage increases for January and February, many workers continue to receive less than the mandated 425 euros, as confirmed by their representatives. Business representatives acknowledge they did not object to the minimum wage adjustment. However, they emphasize the need for a scaled approach to prevent detrimental effects on businesses.
Justice advocates maintain that the government’s decision regarding the minimum wage is compulsory. They predict potential repercussions for those who fail to fully implement it. The situation highlights a discrepancy between the intended policy and the actual earnings of workers.
The representatives involved are actively seeking solutions to ensure all workers receive the established minimum wage.
