Kosovo filled with gas stations, some operate illegally

The Republic of Kosovo can freely say it is the most prominent state in the world in terms of the market in the oil derivative sector. According to research thus far, nearly nine hundred gas stations operate in our country. Among them are a considerable number of Serbian companies operating illegally. The government “Haradinaj” has drafted a plan that the <x2-> problem pumps” were put under state control.

Oil Association Chairman Fadil Behrani told of “Index line” that so far fewer than 851 gas stations have been removed, including some illegals.

According to him, in northern Mitrovica alone, 50 points currently operate, 10 of them are with currency licenses, while some 40 other points operate illegally. “We are the smallest state in the world and then mostly gas stations, this really surprising”, it is expressed.

However, Berjan added, the Association he leads is not against building new gas stations, but the same would have to have criteria according to the European Union.

The concrete “Rast is the difference as the criterion which must be implemented. We take an example on the local roads the distance must be 10km, 15km magistrates, as well as the 25 km 11x1> highway, he indicated.

Speaking of oil quality, imported by neighboring states; Albania, Macedonia, Greece, as well as Serbia, Berjani says there is insufficient control, though citizens are serving with quality as in the region.

On the other hand, the Ministry of Trade and Industry has confirmed that they have taken action in co-operation with the responsible Inspectorate to inform companies that do not have licenses to supply them.

“was a good result and that was a percentage today is down. Several gas stations had context with the AKP and their property. North of the country. It's not that companies don't have any will for licenses, but the problem is ownership. To be equipped with a license, under the administrative directive, it is required to be defined property”, MI explains.

Minister Bajram Hasani told about “In a conversation he had with the prime minister, Ramush Haradinaj has agreed to launch the initiative to facilitate the records of Serbian companies to get into the system.

The “currently is not uncontrolled, and the worst is that the derivatives sold are supplied by the southern part. Our companies supply companies that don't own licenses. If we manage to make a relief because of recording procedures we can by a command we can stop that no company in this part of the territory is allowed to supply any gas stations without the license. That's very easy to become”, he said.

Furthermore, the minister has clarified that 90% of the derivatives sold in the north are supplied by Kosovo companies that are the biggest importers of oil derivatives.

We can make such a decision today, but it can cause chaos because it's impossible and the problem of the property cause. Lacking documents in the cadastre, they own companies which are conditioned to receive fuel sales license”, he stated. /Indesksonline/
