Until 1992, the overall education activity was carried out by the education personnel free of charge, or a symbolic aid was provided to them from various donators and other volunteer contributions of the citizens. In later stages, the Central Financing Council of Kosova was established as well as councils on the commune level. This is the first step in the institutional collection of funds-obligations from the Albanian citizens and budget expenses for the public activities.
As a source of budget income are the contributions from citizens, which are determined in an obligatory form. As a starting point to determine the level of the contributions is the income from any economic activity by the family, family members working abroad, the cadastre incomes, rents, legal entity activities (company, shop or handicraft workers), and income tax, which is 5 %.
All these income sources are effected in Kosova, while in foreign countries Albanians should pay 3% of their net incomes to the Republic Fund. Each two sources are a constitutive parts of the Budget system of Kosova. A dominant expenditure participation on these funds has the education system, in fact all levels of education, even over 80% during the period between 1992-1997, while quite a symbolic participation effected other fields. These funds provided minimal working conditions in order to provide a continuation of such services.
By budget funds administrated by Albanian bodies, about 24.500 employees in different public jobs are financed, out of which 66,3 % belong to elementary schools, 18% to secondary schools, and 5,3% to the University and other institutions and bodies of education, science and culture. The average salary per person varies from 150-160 DM per month.
These figures represent the economic position of the population, whose only existential source is their personal income coming from the Financing Council, or personal income realized by some economic activity, which are approximately the same as of the employees remaining in the public sectors administered by the installed regime.
Contributions on insurance and health care are not paid for the employees, who are financed by Albanian foundations. The health services free of charge can be offered only at the health centers of the Humanitarian Association "Mother Teresa". This Association provides even medicines free of charge for the population of Kosova. Employees and other persons covered by insurance are not in a better position. The average number of patients to a doctor is 3,380 inhabitants. According to statistical figures, inhabitants of Kosova see the doctor once a year. The health situation of the population is not favorable at all. As a result of the very difficult living conditions (accommodation, nursery, and clothing), infective diseases are quiet often present, especially TBC. In 1993, in Kosova there were 3.263 people infected by TBC, which is as twice as high as in Vojvodina.
School buildings and equipment are old, amortized, and in many cases out of use. The facilities of public enterprises with better conditions in order to maintain the education process are usurped by Serbs.
Student dormitories and dining halls, culture centers and stadiums are in complete occupation by the Serbian authorities.
Organized cultural life in the Albanian language is almost totally destroyed. With the exception of some activities on the amateur level, financed and maintained in the communes by Albanians, because of lack of funds, are barely financed, despite the fact on their importance for the affirmation of Kosova, Albanian culture, and tradition in international level. The budget expenses for this purpose are 0,4% of the budget funds for the period between 1992-1997. It is the same situation in sports with only 0,2% of the budget destination.
Regarding information and publishing field, the situation seems to be a little better. A private initiative was undertaken in publishing of some newspapers and magazines in a different number of copies in order to substitute the vacuum in the field of information, caused by an administrative banning of publishing of the daily "Rilindja". Also the Radio and TV Prishtina remain occupied, while the employees are expelled from their jobs.
According to statistics (Serbian Yearbook of 1995), it is indicated that Serbia spends in Kosova, in the form of budget funds, about 199 mill. din. (figures from 1994). All these expenses are dedicated to education, health care, culture and other administrative activities in Kosova, basically used by only 10% of the population of Kosova. On the other hand, about 400 mill. DM (1994), are carried out from Kosova as different taxes hitting the population of Kosova.
