Nik Đeljošaj, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Policy and Minister of Economic Development, said that he fully supports the work of Finance Minister Novica Vuković and that he welcomes the decision that the Budget Inspection "be activated in the true sense of the word."
These, he says, are decisions that show that the system is ripe to establish mechanisms of self-control and discipline.
"That's what I announced yesterday, but unfortunately the malicious interpreted it in such a way as to try to create another artificial conflict in the Government. Therefore, anyone who irresponsibly disposes of state property must be prosecuted. There is no compromise with that. And kudos to Novica Vuković and his team for activate the mechanisms at their disposal in this regard," Đeljošaj said.
He also called for an audit of the budget unit he manages.
He states that in the first quarter of this year, compared to the same period last year, during the mandate of the previous government, the Ministry of Economic Development "saved as much as 64.792,45 euros in positions (work contracts, consulting contracts, other fees, salaries of public officials). "
He adds, the Ministry saved 33.253,91 euros only in terms of the work contract.
"On the other hand, in this short period, the Ministry managed to prepare several legal and by-laws, adopt programs and a strategy, as well as manage to raise the quality of life of our citizens by limiting margins for over 500 items in stores, but also to eliminates some barriers to the economy and boosts their competitiveness," adds Đeljošaj.
As he said, significant strides have been made on the international level as well, especially in the segment of negotiations with the European Union, "so it is expected that the largest number of chapters that will be closed first will be precisely those that are within the competence of this ministry."
"The ministry is an example of efficiency in action. We achieve better results with lower costs. Obviously, this was not the case in the previous period, which is confirmed by the above data," the announcement concludes.
