Kosovo Deputy criticizes low capital investment realization

Avdullah Hoti, a deputy from the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), has criticized the government for the low rate of capital investment realization. He reported that only 37 percent of the planned budget was spent during the first six months of the year.

Of the 1.02 billion euros allocated for capital investments this year, 377 million euros have been spent, leaving 643 million euros unrealized. Hoti noted that after accounting for 82 million euros in judicial decision payments, actual capital investments amount to only 295 million euros.

Several ministries showed particularly low implementation rates. The Ministry of Local Government Administration reported zero percent realization, while the Ministry of Labor, Family, and Veterans of the Liberation War reported only 1 percent. Other low figures include the Ministry of Economy at 9 percent and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora at 11 percent.
