Acting President Albulena Haxhiu has said that Kosovo workers should be given their rightful place.

On International Workers' Day, Haxhiu emphasized that it is not enough to see only the workplace as a worker, but that work starts at home. 

"Where many women start the day before everyone wakes up and end it after everyone has slept. Where caring for children, the elderly, the sick, food, clothes, and family order continues to be taken as a natural duty. But it is not natural. It is commitment, dedication, time, and, above all, it is work that is neither paid nor recognized enough," said Haxhiu.

She expressed gratitude and respect for all the workers "who keep their families, society and Kosovo afloat." 

"To those who go out early to earn their bread by sweat, on the construction site, in the factory, in the field, in the office, in the store, on the street or in exile, but also to those who continue to work inside the home, often without pay, without a schedule and without the recognition they deserve," Haxhiu emphasized.
