Former prime minister of the provisional Pristina institutions Ramush Haradinaj and his associates spent nearly 700,000 euros on restaurants during their less than two years in power, Pristina-based Koha daily writes.

The report said that the exact amount of this expenditure is 672,223 eros, while a total of 5 million had been set aside from the Kosovo budget for overall costs.

This data, Koha writes, was given in a statement on expenditures, which was forwarded from the government based on a request for access to public information.

Koha writes that the requested information was not provided by competent institutions within the deadline, but only after a complaint was lodged with the citizen's ombudsman.

The article also says that the data provided is not in line with the request, as it represents a cumulative sum of expenditures for some categories that include all cabinet employees, but not Haradinaj's expenses separately.

According to official data, the prime minister's office spent a total of 4,885,189 euros, of which 672,223.14 on lunches alone - while 688,224.39 euros was spent on supplies of food and non-alcoholic beverages.
