Prime Minister Albin Kurti has announced that the inaugural and first working meeting of the new government cabinet has been held.
"From the first day of work, we gathered to approve the 2026 budget and the list of international agreements, which have long been awaiting approval in the Assembly and which also have an expiration date," Kurti declared.
He announced that the Government has also approved the decision to request the Assembly to extend last year's Budget Allocation Law for the month of March.
"To ensure that pensions and salaries in the public sector are executed on time, as parliamentary committees and MPs of the 10th legislature process and approve the budget for this year," Kurti wrote.
The Prime Minister recalled that last year the Assembly of the Republic dissolved without voting the state budget worth 4 billion euros, the European Union Growth Plan worth 882.6 million euros, and three agreements with the World Bank worth over 120 million euros, even jeopardizing the benefits from them.
"Now that we have a constituted Assembly and a new Government in office, we have another opportunity to ratify these international agreements in the Assembly. Serving the Republic and its citizens, with hard work and diligence, honor and dedication, is the greatest privilege that each of us will have," he said.
