The Executive Director of the American Ode, Arian Zeka, praised the law as important, but called for avoiding excessive adjustment, which would violate inter-business reports but also make it difficult to do business. He said it is Oda's stance that excessive adjustment would be a challenge to operating businesses and would be contrary to the country's orientation to a free market economy.
The adviser to the Ministry of Trade and Industry, Mrika Selimaj, said the trade law envisions a number of innovations aimed at general regulation of the market in the country, saying that this law tends more from the administrative aspect. Selimaj said the ministry aims to make the necessary modifications so that this law is implemented and that reforms are most necessary to regulate this sector. It encouraged businesses present to present their recommendations and comments on the formation of this law, which will affect their business activity.
The chairman of the American Oda Trade and Customs Committee and the owner of Delphi Ltd, Avni Krasniqi, said that the private sector's lack of involvement in the establishment of laws that affect the retail trade sector, but also other sectors in general are impacting proper law enforcement in the country. Krasniqi said that since the private sector is most affected by new specifics and innovations from this law, businesses are embarrassed that the implementation of this law will face difficulties, which will result in trade irregularities. He demanded that businesses be an integral part of this process in providing recommendations to address issues that would pose burdens to the private sector.
The owner of the Proex company, Ylber Kuraya, said the retail trade sector in Kosovo is the main sector of filling state crates, so including this sector in modification of the trade law is necessary. He said that the lack of full taxisation of stores, among other things, reflects on the incomplete implementation of current laws, adding that the greater inclusion of businesses in the process of drafting laws would enable a more appropriate address to issues that affect the private sector.
