The paper’s front page editorial today blames the government of Kosovo about the death of a Kosovo Albanian two-year-old child who died in an asylum camp in Hungary. The paper writes that Kosovo institutions are responsible for people fleeing Kosovo to seek better future in European Union countries. “This death is a direct accusation against those responsible for the degradation of Kosovo, where, there is no welfare, no equality and no fairness.” According to the paper, the bad governance destroyed the hopes of people that one day things will get better in Kosovo.

The paper on its front page editorial writes that Kosovo’s Prime Minister, Isa Mustafa, should act immediately to stop the organized crime and corruption, especially in the business sector in Kosovo. The editorial notes that the business sector in Kosovo is “drowned” in corruption. “This has pushed several companies towards full bankruptcy, which in normal circumstances would have been developed and opened new jobs, so, they would have helped in strengthening the economy of Kosovo,” writes the paper.

On the front-page editorial, the paper writes that the people of Kosovo are continuing to flee poverty and humiliation by trying to illegally enter European Union countries but at the same time, they are also trying to escape from facing their serious problems.

Although there are different figures circulating in the media about the people that have recently left Kosovo, the paper says it is certain that over 100,000 persons have left only in the recent months. This wave of migration, says the paper, is in fact an evident case of human trafficking and it is unacceptable for authorities in Kosovo to remain idle in face of it. “The state has turned into an irresponsible spectator while people are fleeing in an organized way,” writes the paper.

The paper claims in its front-page editorial that the proposal of the opposition parties to the government of Kosovo to set up a fund to prevent the influx of people leaving for European countries by using it to create new jobs is an unsustainable idea because unemployment is not something that can be solved by a fund. Such funds would end up being misused by corrupt officials and reach a minimum effect.

Kosova Sot, on its front page editorial writes that the resolution on preventing the irregular migration of  Kosovo people, adopted by the government on Thursday, is not enough to solve this phenomenon. “The Kosovo Parliament even in the past adopted different kinds of resolutions, but they were never fulfilled. People are leaving Kosovo because they have lost hope that things will get better in this country.

The amendment was signed by 57 MPs from all the political entities, including the minority ones.

Kosova Sot’s front-page editorial writes that Kosovo has entered a tensioned year, with massive protests, trade union pressure and dissatisfaction of the population. “This is not a surprise.
