The Municipality of Ferizaj has publicly criticized reports indicating that the University of Applied Sciences in Ferizaj (USHAF) was omitted from the budgetary planning for 2027. The local government characterized this exclusion as an unacceptable decision that poses significant risks to the region’s higher education sector and overall urban development. In its official statement, the Municipality of Ferizaj asserted that the exclusion of funding for USHAF from the Budgetary Cycle covering 2027 through 2029 represents a legal violation and threatens the operational stability of the institution.
The municipality emphasized that the news regarding the funding gap, which has been corroborated by USHAF itself, is deemed “scandalous” and contrary to established law. The concerns raised by the municipality highlight the critical role that USHAF plays within the community structure of Ferizaj. By flagging the omission from the forthcoming budgetary plans, the local authorities are signaling potential disruptions to academic programs and research initiatives.
The focus of the dispute centers on the proper allocation of resources within the municipal financial framework. The Municipality of Ferizaj is demanding clarification and corrective action regarding the budgetary process to ensure that the continuity of higher education services remains protected and aligned with regional development goals.
