Finance Minister Mirko Cvetkovic says that the budget for the Serb and non-Albanian population in Kosovo comes to some EUR 500mn. Cvetkovic said that that budget was enough for all who lived there, “provided it’s used sensibly.“ "Kosovo Serb budget: EUR 500mn" He told B92’s Kaziprst that he expected the redistribution of funds to solve the problems of around 2000 Serbs who had left the Kosovo institutions following the unilateral declaration of independence, and were now calling on the state to take care of them. The minister said that the government had adopted an edict a few months ago according to which Serbs leaving the Kosovo institutions would be accepted in the corresponding Serbian institutions. He said that all the Serbs in Kosovo that were paid by the Serbian state, received a “Kosovo bonus,” meaning that they effectively received double wages. Cvetkovic said that this should only be applied in the enclaves, as life in northern Kosovo was hardly any different from life in central Serbia. The minister added that there were indicators that certain people were living outside the province, but traveling to Kosovo to receive double wages. Mirko Cvetkovic (FoNet, archive)
