He has been working as a bookkeeper in the capital for many years, offering new, old and used books. Annie, why does she often work more than ten hours a day, Florim Beqiri says that at the end of the month she barely earns 100 euros from selling books.
Similar problems are having other bookmakers in Pristina Square, due to the decline in the number of book buyers. Although the capital is focused on the largest number of Kosovo students, it turns out that the latter are at least buying books. Beqiri has claimed that Kosovo has lost the number of young people buying books, and therefore blames the current situation in Kosovo. “More buy primary school children than their own world, that is, it's not directly locked in these problems that society has, that is, they live a life that parents can afford, that they have no social, economic, and political situation in which we are going through our 34x1>, says Beqiri.
He says that it is love for the book that motivates him to work under such conditions. We're very willing to work and we're working in very cruel economic conditions, we can't earn 50 or 100 euros a month, even given the standards, but because we love the book, we have some ideal for the book”, says Beqiri.
Meanwhile, Mirasd Krasniqi's book home turns out to be visited by more middle-aged people, but not by young people. Krasniqi has told Kosovo Preris that young people's interest in buying books is not what it should be. And yet this middle age group, a little older, new one... This people no longer have money, are unemployed, young people have no income, even the book is a little expensive, to be correct, and they're all making it difficult to sell the book and come to reader”, Krasniqi says.
Bessian Zenel, of the “Buzuku” library, also claims that middle age but children are also buying more books at the points of this library. The greatest option to buy is in middle age because they have the best standard, at the same time they're in working relationships, so that middle age, of course, we can easily say 25, 30 to 40 is the age that you prefer to read more, but always, with no respect to the new age where it counts, that parents are investing enormously in children, Zenelli says.
And reader Agon Rexhepi, who is senior at the school “Ahmet Gashi”, says he primarily borrows books, as book prices are high compared to the possibilities of students and students. “The books that I generally read are very expensive, especially the books in English are always more expensive, and perhaps we as students do not have little problem buying books constantly or constant. To read, lending can be made from a library that is very symbolic that everyone can afford, but if we want to have our own library, that is, those books we have, it's not easy to afford, says Rex3>.
Kosovo's municipal libraries are seen as a good opportunity, because records for a year cost about one to five euros. But the low supply of new books is still forcing readers to look for solutions to the libraries and book markets. Meanwhile, regarding the decline in book sales, according to booksellers, this situation has come mainly as a result of economic conditions in Kosovo, the increased development of technology and insufficient support of the Ministry of Culture to the book.
