Prishtina reaches agreement with striking technical workers

The Municipality of Prishtina has reached an agreement with the union of technical workers who have been on strike for seven weeks. According to the Directorate of Education, initial payments to the workers were processed on Thursday, with the remaining payments expected to be completed by Tuesday.

While the workers are expected to return to their duties next week, the municipality has arranged for public enterprises, including the Housing Public Enterprise and “Pastrimi”, to cover school cleaning and maintenance in the interim. The Directorate of Education stated that the health and safety of students remain a priority and that they will oversee measures to ensure proper hygienic and sanitary conditions.

Despite the municipal agreement, parents of students at the “Mehmet Gjevori” school have announced a boycott of classes. The parents cited inadequate hygiene and a malfunctioning heating system as the primary reasons for their decision, following a vote by parent representatives.
