Kamenicë, May 29, 2025

The Acting Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, visited the Municipality of Kamenica today, where he was received by the Mayor, Kadri Rahimaj. Together, they visited the “Filizat” daycare center to observe firsthand the outcomes of the municipality’s child care policies and its support initiatives for mothers.

Kamenica is the first municipality in the country to provide healthy meals for children in public daycare centers. The menu, developed by nutritionists, includes various types of fish such as salmon, sea bass, and gilt-head bream, along with fresh fruits and vegetables, lentils and grains, as well as freshly squeezed juices, ensuring nutritious and balanced meals for children.

Under Mayor Kadri Rahimaj’s leadership, the Municipality of Kamenica also provides health insurance for children attending public daycare centers, covering 100% of hospital service costs and 80% of outpatient services. This includes coverage for dental, optical, psychiatric, and hearing care services within the territories of Kosovo, Albania, and North Macedonia.

These measures have led to a significant increase in enrollment at the public daycare center in Kamenicë—from 70 children previously to 120 currently registered, with a waiting list of over 40 children. The Government of the Republic of Kosovo has already begun construction of two new daycare centers: one in the village of Koretin, expected to be completed in September, and another in the village of Roganë, with construction having started earlier this year.
Moreover, Kamenica is the first municipality to offer a newborn care package worth €300, containing 84 different items including clothing for ages 0 to 1 and maternal care products. In addition to the Government’s support for new mothers and children, the Municipality of Kamenica provides financial assistance of €200 for the first child, €250 for the second, and €300 for the third and subsequent children.

According to Mayor Rahimaj, these policies have been extremely well received and appreciated by new parents in the municipality. Prime Minister Kurti commended the commitment of the Municipality of Kamenica for developing and implementing exemplary policies aimed at the growth and development of children and for supporting parents, especially mothers.
