The Center claims that the price for the children's stay in the kindergartens in the territory of this municipality will not undergo changes, that is, it remains the same as before, and the Airport Municipality claims that so far it manages to cover the additional financial claims from the kindergartens and for the time being they are not plans a raise.

Parents of children who are cared for in kindergartens located on the territory of the municipality of Karposh, will allocate more money for the monthly stay of their little ones, than it will cost families whose children go to kindergartens in other municipalities of Skopje. Councilors in the municipal council this year voted the decision to correct the price, a proposal that was presented to them for approval last year as well, but was not accepted.

So, instead of 1.490 denars as before, in the future kindergartens in Karposh will pay 510 denars more, that is, the monthly stay of the children will cost 2.000 denars. The same amount will be paid for accommodation and food for children from 6 to 10 years old.

Karposh announced yesterday that this correction of the monthly participation in kindergartens was necessary due to the increased overhead costs and the continuous rise in the prices of food products. According to them, the new price will result in the improvement of the quality of services that the youngest car owners will receive.

According to the councilors from "Independent for Karposh - For the protection of Karposh", the price of kindergartens has not changed since 2004, because of which kindergartens were facing big problems. That's why they voted to change the price.

All councilors were sent comparative cost figures and voted as they did. We do not intend to chase votes for cheap populism that the state should pay, and it pays subsidies that, according to the situation in public institutions, it is more than clear that they are not sufficient for a minimum quality in child care - say from "Nezavisni za Karposh - For the protection of Karposh".

The Left indicated that only the councilors from their party voted against the increase in the price of kindergartens, because they believe that this will represent an additional blow to the monthly expenses of a large part of the citizens, especially for those who come from families with many children, as well as from socially vulnerable ones. groups.

We believe that Karposh, as one of the municipalities with the largest budget, does not need to request additional funds for this purpose directly from the citizens, because it already provides sufficient funds through the Republic budget. It is incomprehensible to us how the advisors of SDSM, GROM and Nezavisni concluded that it was an economically and socially justified decision, in conditions of a pronounced economic crisis in the country. Surprisingly, DPMNE remained deaf and restrained during the voting, despite the promises they made themselves in order to come to power - the statement of the Left says.

The price in kindergartens in Karposh is increasing, instead of 1490 you will pay 2000 denars per month

Whether Karposh's decision will "pull a leg" in other Skopje municipalities is not yet known. So far, only the Airport and the Center have answered the question of whether the price for staying in kindergartens in their territory will increase.

The Municipality of Aerodrom says that no such proposal has been submitted to the Council of the Municipality of Aerodrom so far.

Otherwise, according to Article 191, paragraph 2 of the Law on the Protection of Children, the amount of the price is determined by the Council of the Municipality on the proposal of the management board of the public institution for children. It is about a monthly price in the amount of 1.490 denars, which has not changed in the last 20 years, and with those funds the costs of food and other current needs of the children are covered. The Municipality of Aerodrom manages to cover the additional financial claims of the kindergartens with household operations, and for the time being no increase in the price of accommodation is foreseen - the Airport pointed out.

And the Center claims that the price for children's stay in the kindergartens located on the territory of this municipality will not change, that is, it remains the same as before.

There was a request to the Council of the Municipality of Centar from the councilors in the advisory group of the Left party for the equalization of the price for the stay of children in kindergartens who had longer absences. In fact, their request was that each parent pay 1.490 dinars every month, regardless of whether the child went to kindergarten or not - says the Center.

From there, they explain that the Municipal Council can make a decision to increase the price only after previously obtaining consent from the Management Board of the kindergarten, and that according to the current Regulations, the price increase does not require the consent of the competent ministry.
