Ibrahimi: Municipalities have lost 24 million euros from education grant

Sazan Ibrahimi, chairman of the Association of Kosovo Municipalities (AKK), criticized the Ministry of Education over its budget allocations to municipalities. Speaking on RTV21’s “Click,” he said that 24 million euros had been withheld from municipalities’ education grant this year.

According to Ibrahimi, municipalities have therefore had to cover the salaries of more than 3,000 education workers from their own budgets. He warned that the financial burden would continue next year, when the amount for education workers would be just over 8 million euros.
