LVV concludes campaign in Pristina, Kurti: 1 billion euros for production and entrepreneurship

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti said that his government "has never jeopardized relations with the United States and the European Union."

According to him, he has never had a broader and more substantial relationship.

"Our government has never jeopardized relations with the United States of America and the European Union; on the contrary, it has never had broader, deeper, more substantive, more qualitative relations with our allies, partners, and international friends from the West than with our government," Kurti said.

At the closing rally of the election campaign, the leader of the Vetëvendosje Movement and candidate for prime minister, Albin Kurti, said that the February 9 elections "are a historic referendum."

He mentioned commitments for the next four years, including investments that he said would be made in the military, manufacturing, and entrepreneurship.

"1 billion euros for production and entrepreneurship, support for investments in production capacities through guaranteeing loans for investors, because we need to produce more to employ more, reduce imports and replace them, and grow the economy," Kurti said.

"We will move the collection of value-added tax on goods entering the border from the border to within the country. In the first months of the new government, we will also remove the 10% customs tax on cars from the EU," Kurti added.

He said that Kosovo will become a digital currency.

"Integrated public transport, urban and interurban, with a single ticket of 10 euros per month. 1 billion euros for the Kosovo army," he said.

Kurti, among other things, said that they will increase the number of nurseries and mentioned an additional 100 euros on top of the basic pension for all grandparents who care for children.

He said that the minimum wage will increase to 500 euros during the next mandate.

Kurti also mentioned the Social Security Fund, as he said, to cover payments for maternity leave, parental leave, and in the event of job loss.

Meanwhile, the Speaker of the Assembly and candidate for MP, Glauk Konjufca, said that Kurti's governance is the best that Kosovo has ever had.

"We have increased salaries, pensions, scholarships, the economy, the budget, but we have not been able to increase the opposition," he said.

"We must all come out the day after tomorrow, we must each come out because all the very important achievements, from the allowances for children and for mothers on maternity leave to the successful intervention in the north, and our sovereignty, are hanging in the balance, hanging in the balance if each of us does not come out the day after tomorrow and support the LVV, the number 118 and make Albin Kurti prime minister for the third time," said Konjufca.
