Labor tensions emerged in Prishtina following the expiration of private contracts, leading to the job losses of approximately 50 security workers at Family Medicine Centers in October. The Prishtina Municipality addressed the resulting security gap by temporarily reassigning personnel from other municipal buildings while undergoing tendering procedures.

By November, the focus shifted to a seven week strike by technical workers. An agreement was eventually reached between the municipality and the union, with initial payments being processed to facilitate the workers' return to duty. However, despite this resolution, parents at the “Mehmet Gjevori” school announced a boycott of classes, citing concerns over malfunctioning heating systems and inadequate hygiene.
