Doing Business in Kosovo: 333 times in KPM office for one license

During this meeting, Oda was first introduced and the activities she is taking to help solve business problems individually or a certain sector.

OAK Board Chairman Skender Krasniqi stressed that the purpose of this meeting was to discuss the Mining and Mine Bill, where separations should be included in the mines. He announced those present closely for the commitment OAK has made to the Steelbreakers sector and at the same time expressed the will of Oda that on this journey there are also Seperations.

Hamdi Malushaj and Hysni Zogaj, board members stressed that businesses should be more organised so that the state can take into account their demands, and at the same time, it will be easier to influence the achievement of business-required facilities.

Attendees thanked OAK representatives for the meeting and mentioned that difficulties in being part of this sector every day and more are growing. The main problem was considered the application for licenses, because businesses must constantly visit the KPM until they are equipped with it. There were businesses at the meeting that you needed from 100 to 333 times to visit the KPM for a license,

Also for obtaining a license in the separation will need documentation amounting to 20,000 euros.

As a result of these problems, businesses are reducing the number of employees. There were businesses at the meeting since 70 employees were forced to drop to 15 employees.

Businesspeople also stressed that the amendment to the existing law obliges businesses to use bank guarantees, not allowing insurance companies as option, which is affecting business damage.

After hearing business problems, the main requirements of the series for which the Oda of Afarism in Kosovo will constantly be engaged until they can be implemented, among which they are:

· The grading of rivers and their type also allow for work distance.

R/Deformation of seperations from the mines and while simplifying the application procedures for licenses, this is because they are not the same category and the complexity of their jobs is very different.

· Setting up the river space for each separation means that each section is responsible for maintaining the riverbed area for which it is licensed.

· Returning licenses in the municipality for presentation as it was early and many more
