PM Mustafa persistent: There is no money to increase salaries (Gazeta Blic)
The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Isa Mustafa, justified in an interview for Bota press the decision for coalition with the Democratic Party of Kosovo, calling it “a coalition for the benefit of Kosovo and the only solution that functions within the current constitutional order which offers prosperity and stability.” Speaking about the trade unioninsts' announcements for protests, Mustafa said that he does not see reasons for protests. “Because I do not see any results from protests. If we had funds, salaries would increase without protests. Where should the workers of private sector protest? Their salaries are lower than the ones of the public sector. This matter is more complicated than it appears, therefore we should show responsibility towards all the employed, and especially towards those who do not have a job. I am prepared to tell everyone that there are no funds or economic conditions for increase of salaries right now. We all have to work to create these conditions. I will work hard for the benefit of our citizens. I am convinced that they will be in a better position by the end of 2015. We will have more jobs and a better life,” said Mustafa.
