Democratic League of Kosovo MP ( The LDK), Avdullah Hoti, has criticised the Kurti Government over the realisation of capital investments, saying that during the past six years none of the major projects inherited from the preliminary governments has been completed.
Response to the 2027 budget, Hoti wrote in a Facebook post that high figures planned for capital investments are being used only for pride at the time when the budget is approved in the Assembly.
According to him, when it comes to reporting on the realisation of the budget, no government member does stand before MPs and citizens to respond to failures in implementing projects.
In the past six years, realisation of capital investments has been extremely low. None of the major capital projects inherited from the preliminary governments and launched before 2021 have been realised, including the Gjilan highway, the Way to Peja, the Mitrovica road, the Dolc-Gjakov road, the Prizren-Gjakov road, etc., has written.
Hoti has also cited projects that, according to him, have been promised by the current government but have not been realised. Among them has listed the Prizren-Tetovo route and tunnel, Pristina-Durra Railway, Gjakova Airport, children’s nests, social dwellings and acumation dams.
He has said that for this reason no one believes in the high capital investment figures seen in the 2027 budget.
The LDK MP has also criticised the way the procurement procedures are developed, stressing that realising capital investments has remained low, though in many cases procedures have been carried out through negotiation, including hundreds and thousands of single-source or negotiating tenders.
According to Hoti, the economic and social consequences of not realising capital projects are being attributed to all citizens. He has mentioned long columns in the roads that have remained under construction for six years, which, according to him, cost citizens time and expense.
Also, Hoti has estimated that failure to realise capital investments has left Kosovo’s economy without hundreds of millions of euros in circulation, tools that would create positive chain effects on the economy.

This government is deceiving itself and the public with the huge budget planned for capital investments. High budget figures are being used only for puffing up with the issue of budget approval in the Assembly. When the time is coming to report to the Parliament on the realisation of the budget, no government member will appear before MPs and citizens to respond to failures in implementing projects.
In the past six years, realisation of capital investments has been extremely low. None of the major capital projects inherited from the preliminary governments and launched before 2021 have been realised, including the Gjilan highway, the Way for Pec, the Mitrovica road, the route to Podujevo, the Dolc-Gjakov road, the Prizren-Gjakov road, etc.
Neither have the projects promised by this government been realised, including the Prizren-Tetovo road and tunnel, the Pristina-Durra railway, the Gjakova airport, children’s nests, social residences, adulation dams and other projects.
So no one believes in high capital investment figures before the 2027 budget.
The realisation of the budget for capital investments has remained low, even though procurement procedures have been carried out in many cases through negotiation, as evidenced by hundreds of thousands of single-source or negotiating tenders.
Economic and social consequences from non-realising capital projects are being carried out. The long road columns under construction are now costing each time and expense for six years. The non-realisation of capital investments has left Kosovo’s economy without hundreds of millions of euros in circulation, tools that would create positive chain effects on the economy.
