GLPS warns that Kosovo could irreversibly lose 90.6 million euros from the Growth Plan

The Group for Legal and Political Studies (GLPS) warned on Monday that Kosovo is at risk of permanently losing 90.6 million euros from the European Union’s Growth Plan as a result of delays in implementing reforms and the incomplete functioning of its institutions.

At a press conference, GLPS program manager Ema Pula stressed that June 30 marks the end of the final deadline that gave Kosovo the opportunity to avoid financial losses by carrying out the planned reforms.

GLPS researcher Besar Gërgi said that the lack of fully functioning institutions has directly affected the progress of reform implementation.

According to him, only after the publication of official reports by the Government of Kosovo and the European Union will it become clear what level of funding has been obtained, how much money is at risk, and which reforms remain unimplemented.

Gërgi also added that, given the current situation in Kosovo, GLPS has prepared several recommendations to improve and speed up the implementation of the reform agenda.
