Citizens talk about tax, whether to stay or leave government

Some of the country's citizens have said that the tax should be suspended since America requires it, and others say the prime minister's decision, Ramush Haradinaj, should be respected.

“Taxa is not set as a desired element by the Government of Kosovo, it has been a must because with the Serbian campaign, which has seriously damaged Kosovo's image abroad, the Kosovo government has faced a necessity of action. But I think that in the meantime, with the insistence of the international factor, Kosovo's friends maybe it's time to think seriously about suspending the tax for a certain time, not about its removal. If Serbia continues with the old methods, it could return. Now the tax is turning into a kind of charge, the boomerang from which Kosovo may have damages”, a citizen has said.

And another citizen said two sides should be seen whether the tax should be lifted, that of co-operation with friendly countries, as well as patriotism.

When you see co-operation with the people around you then yes, because we are a state of our own and should be able to co-operate fairly from all surrounding states. But when you see some patriotism then no. Now it depends which side we should see as a state. If we look at the future, I think I have to remove”, she said.

Otherwise, taxes on Serbian and Bosnian products are imposed in November last year.

Even after the numerous pressures coming from friendly countries, Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj refuses to make a decision on suspending or lifting it until an agreement on recognising Kosovo's independence towards Serbia is reached.
