"The Besa Movement will provide professional and efficient administration: accountable, transparent, depoliticized, and with zero tolerance for crime and corruption, offering quality services for citizens and the business sector,” Kasami said. He added they would also establish “efficient communication between municipal enterprises, to facilitate bureaucratic procedures” and “digitize public services, eliminating long wait times,” Kasami said. Other promises include restructuring municipal public enterprises facing financial, organizational and administrative problems as well as modernizing the Tetovo public sanitation company and the fire brigade. According to Kasami, current administrative employees wouldn't lose their jobs, but there would be "zero tolerance for fictitious employees” and people would be awarded on the basis of merit. “We will install digital applications, which will monitor the work of the administrative staff, the number and duration of completed cases. The digitized municipality will ensure zero tolerance for crime, corruption and abuse of office by any administrative staff member," Besa’s Tetovo mayoral candidate said. "In closing, let me tell you of what I’m certain: Not only will all Tetovo administration staff and municipal companies’ employees keep their jobs, but they'll get promotions. They will get promoted according to the law, and not as before, at the wishes of [current Tetovo mayor] Teuta [Arifi] and her company,” Kasami said. mr/
