The Kosovo Assembly spent 8.540.232 euros in 2024, an amount almost equal to that of 2023, where 8.148.433 euros were spent. The data was obtained by KALLXO.com through a request for access to public documents, as the financial reports have not yet been officially approved and published.

Despite the fact that during 2025 the Assembly was not functional for six months due to the election campaign and subsequent institutional blockade, the expenses for this period amounted to 3.905.025 euros.

Salary, travel and official lunches

1.631.903 euros were spent on the salaries of 120 MPs, while the total expenses for them, including travel, telephony and expenses during travel, reached 1.685.407 euros.

Other expenses include:

Travel abroad and accommodation: around 15.000 euros

Telephone expenses: over 7.500 euros

Official lunch: 25.798 euros

Expenses for diplomatic passports and delegations: around 2.500 euros

Administration, supplies and maintenance

The Assembly administration has cost 1.557.630 euros, of which over 1 million euros were used for salaries.

Expenses for building and vehicle maintenance, electricity, heating and various services exceed 117.000 euros.

The Assembly has also spent:

209.580 euros for the purchase of 6 cars

13.908 euros for fuel

12.947 euros for IT equipment

9.922 euros for office supplies

1.215 euros for food and drinks

Political staff and the Commissioner of the KSF

Expenditures for political support staff have reached 649.387 euros, while the Parliamentary Commissioner of the KSF was paid 12.599 euros for the first six months of the year.

Court decisions

During 2023 and 2024, the Assembly paid a total of 167.677 euros for court decisions, with 159.632 euros spent on seven such decisions in 2023 alone.

Political blockade and the Constitutional Court’s decision

After the end of the eighth legislature’s mandate on March 22, 2025, the Assembly has failed to become functional due to the failure to elect a deputy speaker from the Serbian community.

Although on August 26, Dimal Basha was elected Speaker of the Assembly, the Constitutional Court imposed an interim measure on September 5, finding that the Assembly cannot be considered constituted without the election of all deputy speakers, including the representative from the Serbian community.

This measure remains in effect until the full verdict is published, and in the meantime, the Assembly is not allowed to take any action to form the new Government.
