Balkan Minisengen is considered harmful for Kosovo

At least so say economic connoisseurs and the 6 October election winner, according to preliminary results, the Vetevendosje Movement.

The chairman of the Afarism Oda, Skender Krasniqi, says of Kosovo Press, that achieving such a mini-senheny is the most slim in Kosovo's interest. While calling on the next government to review all the CEFT and SAA agreements, according to him, they have damaged and destroyed local production and have not impacted export growth.

The achievement of a minister is at least in the interest of Kosovo, both politically and economically. The experience we have with the CEFT agreement, but even the SAA, Kosovo has not benefited from any of these agreements. Instead, Kosovo has suffered tremendous damage from these agreements ... it will be the Serbian state, it will be the countries of the region, and once again it will be the Republic of Kosovo. It's not our interest as a state to make this kind of deal. We call on the incoming Government, anyone who comes to see with urgency to negotiate these agreements. It is agreements that have damaged and destroyed local production and have not affected the growth of exports, employment and welfare of our citizens”, he says.

That this minister is harmful for Kosovo, says and economics connoisseur Mustaf Kadriaj, while adding that it would be unaffordable, as Kosovo has no local economy and local production to export to other regional states.

That's just what's going to do harm, all these states and the EU is trying to make these states join the EU, not in these mini-esegenes. As long as we don't have an EU control, we are very fragile states that we don't have a distant history of the conflict that we've had in the 90s... unfortunately, we haven't created local economies, local production, but we behave only as an imported state and a transit country, even on the side of the 87x1> goods, Kadriaj says.

Meanwhile, on the part of the winning party according to the preliminary results of the 6 October elections, Vetevendosje Movement say this attempt is contrary to Kosovo's interests and will not support.

The member of the party's leadership, Albulen Haxhiu, addressed criticism of government in Albania, as she does not see and is not treating it the way this state is.

The Republic of Albania should see Serbia as Kosovo sees it. I don't think the current governance has seen Serbia with its eye as Kosovo sees it. This has caused us tremendous damage. For the fact that she has to deal with Sebina the way she is, there have been such actions as the last meeting. We have rejected their agreement, we have followed positions by our organisation operating in Albania. This is contrary to Kosovo's interests. That's why we haven't backed it”, Haxhiu says.

Last Thursday, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, Serbia's President Aleksandar Vuciq and Northern Macedonia Prime Minister Zoran Zaev agreed during a meeting in Novi Sad, which within 2021 eliminate border controls and other obstacles to free movement within the region. While Kosovo was not part of this meeting.
