Opposition Fails to Put Resolution
For about three hours, some of the Kosovo lawmakers argued over the money that was spent for the celebration of 11th anniversary of Kosovo’s statehood.
The opposition MPs think that lack of quorum at the session was an indication that the Government is not interested to speak up about public money abuse.
MPs raised doubts concerning mismatch of the contract that was signed by the Government with Dizarium Company, and according to them, this shows that someone has committed fraud and has stolen money.
Governing parties, on the other hand, said that the discussion on public money was useless.
Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj gave a different explanation regarding the half million euro allocated for the Independence holiday.
According to Haradinaj, only 175,000 euro of the allocated money has been spent, and the rest will be returned to the budget.
Minister of Finance Bedri Hamza said that there is no macroeconomic crisis, adding that the Haradinaj Government is not the only one that took money from the state reserve.
The Resolution proposed by LDK was not put to voting, due to the lack of quorum.
The Resolution consists only of two items: to stop allocation of money from state reserve without criteria, and the Government shall be obliged to within a short period of time report about the money spent on the 11th anniversary of Independence and the 551st anniversary of Scanderbeg’s death.
