Kosovo streets filled with garbage after cleaning workers’ strike

Piles of garbage are on the streets in Kosovo's capital Wednesday after cleaning workers launched a strike demanding a raise Monday.

Cleaners in Pristina demanded a salary raise of at least €70 ($73.94), which would bring the current pay averages for workers to €400 ($422.11) per month.

Mayor Perparim Rama said other sectors of the municipality have begun collecting the city’s trash.

But Anadolu observed garbage bins overflowing on many streets and squares.

The cleaning company for the city later announced that worker demands o were accepted and the situation would return to normal later Wednesday.
