The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo contends that the thirteenth salary for the public sector is not genuinely designed to combat poverty. Instead, it’s viewed as a political maneuver, a pre-election promise utilized by the current government to potentially sway votes during an upcoming election. Leader of the Parliamentary Group for the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, Besnik Tahiri, dismissed the ongoing discussions surrounding this issue as a “sham.” He strongly urged the Government of Kosovo to prioritize the needs of workers within the private sector.
Specifically, Tahiri highlighted that the thirteenth salary, benefiting approximately 80,000 individuals within the public sector, lacks any intention of reducing poverty or addressing inequality. It’s fundamentally a response to a prior campaign pledge. The Alliance believes that the provision represents an opportunity to exert influence over the vote, particularly within the sector, should a general election occur in Kosovo.
This approach underscores the political motivations behind the decision.
