Kosovo companies remain without workers, leaving for better lives

The agreement, which Kosovo signed with Germany for Kosovo's seasonal employment, seems to leave Kosovo companies without workers. On Monday at a conference on media for OEK Chairman Berat Rukiqi has indicated that over 24 thousand workers from 2017 have fled Kosovo, but BKP officials say [...]
The number of workers expected to abandon Kosovo after visa liberalisation is expected to grow markedly, as so far the majority of workers working through Kosovo companies have expressed disappointment.
In some large companies, the first movement of workers has already begun. To avoid these large company owners' evacuations in the country are recommending better access to workers in the workplace.
The owner of the company “Meka Hallall Food”, Burim Piraj, has told the newspaper “Zeri” that he has escaped from a worker who has fled abroad to work but has returned to another company in Kosovo to continue working.
I've had a case, a worker's quit. But where he went, he has not settled down and returned to work, but not to our firm. The escape problem will be very real, the companies we co-operate with, especially those dealing with trade, have problems finding workers and working in Kosovo's”, he has declared.
