NOTIFICATION: The pilot performance of the reformed social assistance scheme in Kosovo is starting!
On May 18, 2024, the Government representatives, comprising of Prime Minister Albin Kurti, Minister of Finance, Labor and Transfers Hekuran Murati, and World Bank expert in capital Mrika Aliu, presented the social assistance reform project.
In his speech, Prime Minister Kurti explained the novelty, that the new scheme would also allow beneficiaries with no children under the age of five to apply, which has not been the case thus far and amounted to a sort of discrimination for such families. In addition, another objective was to improve the mechanisms for cooperation with the Labor Agency, and this objective will also find its place in the new Draft Law on Social Protection.
At the conference was shown how to fill in the application that can be done online, directly by a family member, or through the competent employee of the Center for Social Work in your municipality.
