The state is implementing enhanced oversight of public funds following the recent increase in child allowances to thirty euros. The Ministry of Finance has launched a comprehensive verification process aimed at refining beneficiary lists. This heightened scrutiny follows reports indicating that over 37,000 citizens departed from Kosovo within a single year, leading to concerns that thousands of children residing outside the country may continue to receive payments funded by the state budget.
Currently, approximately 400,600 children in Kosovo receive the elevated allowances monthly, but residency verification is necessary as not all beneficiaries reside within the country. The emigration statistics provided by the Statistical Agency have prompted the Ministry of Finance to initiate stringent verification measures. The primary objective of this action is to accurately identify families who have relocated abroad, potentially for family reunification, but are still receiving payments in violation of residency rules.
These efforts underscore the state’s commitment to ensuring that public resources are allocated only to eligible and present beneficiaries, addressing potential discrepancies related to the movement of thousands of citizens.
