Haradinaj: KEK directors don't stay in “Lappa Brena”

Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, who at the Government's meeting spoke of the energy situation created in the country, called on KEK directors to work, and not to stick to the object he has named on behalf of Serbian singer Llepa Brena.

I've asked KEK to have custody, to state emergency. To be one of the directors every time, not to come with a night to the Lepa Brena facility, as they say to this beautiful object. If they go where the situation is happening, and don't give priority or think that import of energy is the easiest solution”, Prime Minister Haradinaj said.

Unlike Haradinaj today at the government meeting, he has issued grave accusations against the past government, but also KEK's energy crisis management.

He said they got “set up”.

Haradinaj said the energy situation in the country is in crisis and that by the time it was taken over, the situation at KEK has been a planted bomb.

While he said that since the first day of government, he has approached this subject with the greatest seriousness, given the situation.

For two years the coal reserves have been exhausted. No actions have been taken that were meant to be taken, by the mutations, that is, expropriations, and the country has been brought into crisis. When we took the government, we took the power-cavented bomb. You understand that right, the power bomb. What does that mean? The coal reserves, which are then imposed for two years, KEK should have reserves for two years, have been spent for two years all, and at the same time no necessary action has been taken that has not been created with reservations but with moh. That's what happened from the government that went, from the Mustafa government. Of those who today have their mouths full of what they say”, Haradinaj said.

He said that the price hike affects the established circumstances, not the construction of the Kosova e Re thermal power plant. Haradinaj confirmed it is not right for KEK to import half of the needed energy. While he said he would not give KEK a cent for import.

The country government will not give KEK a cent for import. They're companies they need to manage this time of crisis. Find ways to finance import... Those who are protesting today, I truly welcome the protesters and the emerging citizens. But I think they've been asleep for two years, when damage to the country. And that's too late. They don't need to protest today in time on this government, which starts the day with KEK and the state of energy and closes the day with KEK”, he said.

While he said no one would be left without consequences, for the energy situation created in KEK, and the first to suffer these consequences are KEK's management itself.

“Those who import earn a lot. So they're middlemen or who they are. In this situation of crisis there must be a crisis for everyone I've told you that day there's no consequences. From me, the management and the access to the energy importers. Why is it a state of crisis we dare not go without borders like this I'm calling on and from this meeting KEK management, to keep in mind that the consequences will suffer all, but I guess the first ones will suffer from the management itself, he said.

Economic Development Minister Valdrin Luka, who announced the government cabinet regarding the energy situation in the country, said Kosovo continued to import half of the required energy capacity.

We have created a emergency energy technical team, which is required and legally, in cases where there is no sustainable supply... The situation is also due to the Court's decision to cut off the northern part of the division and because of the lack of the possibility of extracting coal in the village of Shipitula because of obstacles to expropriation. We've reached a position when we're importing half the required capacity. Half is produced and half imported. This is usually when we depend on imports it is impossible to predict even the impact on tariffs, because the import price does not depend on us”, he said.
