Political agenda not prevents country from dealing with economy

Speaking of dialogue in Brussels between Kosovo and Serbia with Brussels' mediation, OEK leader said political agendas should not hinder economic development.

No political agenda should prevent the country from dealing with the economy, as we are losing many steps in relation to the region. The region also has political problems in the case of Bosnia, but much that has resulted in politics has maintained a normality by dealing with the economy”, he said.

Rukiqi said the sector that creates employment and export opportunities is for producing alcoholic beverages and not alcoholic beverages, but not removing excise and water tax is hindering development.

THE only country in the region that still has excises on producing beverages and alcoholics is Kosovo. Not that there are these really are unwilling to pay, but we have had a lot of export potential in this sector and to increase the export potential we think there is room for competitiveness to grow and that grows if they perform or have equal conditions in the region. If countries in the region have no excise, then it is unreasonable and we have also discussed Prime Minister Haradinaj's cabinet. We believe there is a will to make a decision, and we will address Prime Minister” after this conference, he said.

A water tax has been another problem that has been cleared at this conference by OEK chairman, under which an epilogue on this topic that directly infects water producers and still remains unresolved for a long time.

It requires a decision for the state to collect the tax and companies to operate as legals, as they are in a nobody's area or area, and it makes them feel insecure, because in any circumstances where 50 million taxes should be collected, if we go into this option, bankruptcy is at risk for these” companies, he said.

Rukiqi has mentioned visits with businesses and one of the main problems they face is the issue of electricity, so that this can be resolved by the end of the year in terms of infrastructure and investments in stabilisation of tension.

“We are drafting an agreement with KEDS that in the Kosovo Economic Ode, it is a permanent centre of advice for businesses on issues related to energy supply... The regulator has had a very damaging role in the reporting process between businesses and electricity suppliers, since he has not been willing to listen to business needs”, he said.

According to him, the other proposal is that for production companies, the government will be subsidy in keying electricity.

Rukiqi also spoke of the Law for T V S. and said some elements should be resolved on this issue, including eliminating the uncertainties the previous law has brought about, the TV collection mechanism The US at home, not at the border, as well as creating an agency that only handles VAT.
