Speaking to Radio Free Europe, Lluka said the situation at the Telecom is “concerning”. There are around 230 people that have been hired by the company over the last year and added that he has asked the Telecom management to provide a report on the recent employment.

“Once the report is reviewed, we will take measures against anyone who thinks to use authority or position to interfere in the employment of family members,” Lluka said.

There have been increasing reports in the media over the last period of cases where people close to the ruling coalition parties got employment with Kosovo Telecom.
