Criticism of Deputy Minister Appointments Raised by Bajrami
Pristina – Former Kosovo Democratic League MP, Hykmete Bajrami, has voiced strong criticism regarding recent appointments made by Prime Minister Albin Kurti to the positions of deputy ministers. The appointments, announced on February 2nd, 2026, have drawn immediate concern over the government’s priorities. Bajrami asserted that the appointments represent a “takeover of the state,” arguing that they serve no practical function within the current political climate.
She highlighted the situation of a government facing potential resignation, noting that ministers in such circumstances operate with reduced authority and capacity. Specifically, Bajrami questioned the rationale behind the appointments, stating they appear to be solely for the purpose of maintaining salaries from the state budget without undertaking substantive work. She contends that this represents a misappropriation of public funds.
The criticism centers on the perceived lack of urgency and the limited operational scope of a government potentially preparing to resign. Kurti’s recent appointments of ministers are under scrutiny, with concerns raised about their intended purpose and impact on the state budget.
