Kosovo healthcare workers on strike

maybe they get the money if they take kosovos "passport" too....

ha ha ha

then 63 000 "kosovars" would have a passport for valid for e-bay ....

oh yes, and for "europe's" only failed state, albania....

>> "...Kosovo and the people here are facing a very uncertain future"

Whereas Serbia is facing a CERTAIN future: more IMF loans ($3.5 Billion to be exact) and a 18% drop in income for average Serbs. See B92 stories. Look in own yard first.

@ davey

when the lord get´s less meat on the table, his dog get´s less bones ...

what a globalized world, wall street even matters for europe´s black hole, the occupied parts of kosmet.

So, first KPS get bullied into cancelling their strike for better salary and conditions and now the Healthcare..... Looks like the Kosovo Government is really doing a good job.... I see your independence is working then...

Well when you have a place where the corruption is systemic, where even the health minister builds his own village roads, where the medical services won`t give out medicine unless the money comes under the table, and the government does absolutely nothing to counter the corruption - its hardly suprising that the people are suffering.

As the finances start to crumble in the 55 recognising states, and the funds from the diaspora abroad dry up, Kosovo and the people here are facing a very uncertain future. But never mind - I`m sure there is enough hot air to keep the place warm :-)

Alban, the recession is being felt worldwide for the first time since the early 1930s. Countries that hitherto were unaffected by the economic crisis such as Canada, Russia, China and Australia are now feeling the pinch as demand for their exports is drying up. In the UK, ports are clogged with container ships with nowhere to go. International trade is coming to a halt. You are feeling it, I'm feeling it, we are all feeling it.

and that means bad news particularly for Kosmet as the donations and remittances abroad are drying up too. The current strikes are just the start of it. Who is going to pay for the salaries of doctors, nurses, teachers, police etc.? You can expect more of the same in the current months, i.e. protests, strikes and civil unrest.

Say what you like about Serbia but its economy is in alot better position to get out of the recession than you lot. It has a functioning economy, good infrastructure and a solid manufacturing base to build upon. Kosmet has neither. Its in legal limbo which deters investors, 2 million people crammed into a tiny area with no functioning and sustainable economy, 50% + on the scratch.... Its not looking good and conditions are a recipe for potential powder keg.

At least Serbia pays the wages on time.
