From Albanian businesses in Germany, it told them that institutions should create opportunities for investments, regulating the laws so that more can be invested in Kosovo.
Gani Nuha, a member of the Albanian-German Business Union in Germany, said the new government in Kosovo must work hard so that investors in diaspora who want to contribute to Kosovo can invest there.
You need to pave the way when they want to make an investment in municipalities, so it's in favour of both the municipality and the company's favour, even in favour of citizens. And these things need to be more urgently changed, I hope that the future government has done a lot, that we have the will to be close to Kosovo, with finance, to go to Kosovo with the finance. I've made a lot of investments”, he said.
Even according to Zenun Krasniqi from this union, there is still a lot of room for improvements and one of the concerns, he stressed the issue of electricity.
When you talk about production, we have the main problem in Kosovo, which is electricity, which is the basis for the market. We have many problems that other countries in the region have weathered, so I expect that the future government, the first problem with electricity, must be provided and stabilised for local producers, which, as we were equal to other countries in the region”, he said.
He added that they are ready for investments in Kosovo and that there are many, who have the interest to invest in Kosovo, and as he stressed, this is profitable.
And the head of the Pristina municipality, Shpend Ahmeti, said that it must be thought about replacing imports.
A very good investment opportunity, is the fact that we've changed the Law on Using Property. The mayor enables him to negotiate with potential investors, to give in to property exploitation in our municipalities. So if the investment is greater than 10 percent of capital investment in the municipality, for example. In Pristina, if investment is greater than 3m euros, but no more than 20m euros, in specific production areas, then it is much faster to say an investor come than land, your property is free if you invest in production. We in the municipality of Pristina have enough property to tell investors whether to invest in production, and production that replaces imports and creates jobs, we are willing to give the property free”, Ahmeti said.
