Several Facebook pages published an article yesterday (January 23) titled “'200 euros for private sector workers', here comes the news of the end for this category”.
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the title of this article is fabricated, while the news is old, published in November 2022.
On November 2, 2022, the Kosovo Chamber of Commerce and Industry had requested from Prime Minister Albin Kurti and the Government to "take into consideration the difficult financial situation of businesses and not to condition private sector workers, just as public sector workers and public companies have not been conditioned."
The Kosovo Chamber of Commerce and Industry had requested that the payment be made immediately or in two installments for private sector workers in the amount of 200 euros, as is being given to public sector workers.
So, this is an old article, and an effort has been made to present it as current.
