Bie dramatically importing old cars into Kosovo these are the reasons

In contrast to last year, where 7,100 old cars were imported for January (April) period, this year nearly 4,000 thousand have been imported.

According to customs data, this has caused 44 percent less revenues from this year's sector, losing 5.8m euros in taxes, KTV reports.

In this regard, disappointed are citizens who say they don't have the money to buy new cars.

According to businessmen selling cars, those used have increased prices.

For European integration connoisseurs, this situation has contributed to the law restricting import of vehicles up to 10 years old.

According to Hamit Zogaj, the government should change domestic policies.

The age of imported cars has always been used by the Government to fill the budget more easily.

In the beginning, imports of cars up to eight years old were allowed, but with demand increasing in the budget, age rose to 13 years to lift the restriction later.

And with the new law, cars can't be imported by older than 10 years.
