Albin Kurti

In Vushtrri, the LVV candidate for prime minister, Albin Kurti, spoke to his supporters about the results that have been achieved in conditions of crisis and extraordinary situations. Now, according to him, one can imagine what can be done in four years without crisis and with a focus on development. In a meeting with several businesses from other municipalities, he promised support for the private sector. For one of them, he showed how in five years he increased the number of employees from 131 to 264 and the turnover from 26 million to 63 million euros.

The leader of the Vetëvendosje Movement, Albin Kurti, who is seeking a third term as prime minister, was welcomed in Vushtrri with applause and cheers.

He began his speech with "more security and more prosperity, don't give up," and asked the citizens of Vushtrri to vote for the December 28 elections.

Kurti said that despite the challenges the Government has faced, they have been successfully overcome.

"In our mandate of more than two years of governance, we have had successive crises and extraordinary situations, and for just two years we did not have normal conditions and the results were extraordinary. Now imagine what we can do with four years without crises, with stability and a focus on development. We have successfully overcome the pandemic, the energy crisis, the inflation crisis, and even the terrorist attacks and aggressions of Serbia. Therefore, vote for Vetëvendosje on December 28," Kurti said.

Kurti has promised the citizens of Vushtrri that there will be continued economic growth and wages.

In Fushë Kosovë, Kurti visited a private business with 30 employees. He spoke about the benefits that the private sector has had in recent years from the government's financial support.

"Their products, which we find in the local and regional market, are licensed and certified according to European standards. Gratitude for the work, entrepreneurship and contribution to the economy of our manufacturing businesses, which will again have the support of the government in our next mandate," Kurti pledged.  

Earlier on Friday, he also visited a company that has doubled its number of employees from 2020 to 2025.

"In 2020, the company had 131 employees. Today it has 264 workers, an increase of 100%. Five years ago, its annual turnover was 26 million euros, and today it reaches 63 million euros. The average salary in the company has increased from 460 to 737 euros. The company also shares the 13th salary, which we as a government will also share for the public sector in the next mandate, and that from the beginning of the year. We will continue to increase support for companies and businesses in the next four years, to stand by them at every step and contribute to their development," Kurti said.

And he also made promises for pensioners and young people.

"The increase in pensions will continue with economic growth. But for pensioners, we will also create a special program, grandmothers and grandfathers who will take care of their grandchildren, from the age of 1 to 3 years old, will receive an additional 100 euros on top of the basic pension when both parents work. Our goal is for as many women and as many mothers to work as possible."

And, the candidate for deputy from this municipality, Sylejman Meholli, said that Vushtrri is the city to which the slogan for prosperity fits.

"Vushtrri is the symbolic city of agriculture and production, therefore our slogans are embodied and united with Vetëvendosje, with the letter of Vushtrri, and with the letter of Vetëvendosje," Meholli said.
