Pensioner Naile Neziri has warned that if the Law on the Pension Scheme is not regulated, then pensioners will protest in front of the Government. She demands that the 15 years of pre-war service required to qualify for a contributory pension be removed.
Neziri, who before retiring had worked for a long time as a legal officer at the Basic Court of Gjilan, said that the Law on Pension Schemes is discriminatory.
"If Minister Andin Hoti does not allow us to talk and regulate the Law on the Pension Scheme, then we will also go out to protest. We will call for protests in front of the Government of Kosovo. And maybe their conscience will kill them and they will regulate this Law once and for all. The Law has been discriminatory from the beginning. Since people are required to have 15 years of work experience before the war in order to receive a contributory pension. There are people who have 30 years of work experience, just because they did not have 15 years before the war, they receive a basic pension. Isn't this a sin?" - said Neziri on the "tre8tre" show on KTV.
She said that MPs should be conscious of their conscience.
"Pensioners are in a terrible situation. A member of parliament spends 150 euros, which is the basic pension, just for lunch. How can a pensioner live on 150 euros," said Neziri.
