I will respect every of you, and this government will not be of any political party but government of Kosovo and its citizens. For me you are ministers of the government of Kosovo and I do not do partial differences and even ethnical differences. I also request from you to do the same thing and to have reports and continuous consults with each –other and also to consider the government as unique.

Bad management and misuse of the budget will be penalized from me as prime minister and also by law. Very solon we will get out  a regulatory for allowed expenses and the period of expenses without a need will be stopped. They will done only when it is necessary. I want from you to sent me the report of vehicle use in your ministries. We do not dare to spent our budget with luxurious expenses when we have a lot of needs and many people in very hard social conditions. The position of the leading in the government should not be taken as privilege, but as responsibility and honor. In the rational use and responsible management of the budget i except your personal example.
