Research reveals a huge disbalance between Prizren companies, which benefitted from MEST and MTPT bids, and Prishtina ones. Whereas 61 Prishtina companies have benefitted over 121 million Euros from 123 bids, only 16 companies from Prizren have received 71 million through 42 bids. In the same manner, companies based in the municipalities known as PDK strongholds have benefitted multimillion amounts of Kosova budget compared to municipalities known to belong to political opponents such as LDK and AAK. Companies from Shtime, Skenderaj, Drenas, and Ferizxaj have received 30 mil Euros more than municipalities of Podujeva, Deçan, Istog, and Junik. Besides, when bids had been granted to the “neighboring” municipalities, usually a considerable amount has ended in the bank accounts of the companies close to the people of the party in power
