The American Economic Oda in Kosovo shared US-Kosovo Partnership recognitions as an assessment to companies that have actively contributed to empowering economic relations between the United States of America and Kosovo.
US Ambassador to Kosovo Philip S. Cosnett, said one of the tasks of any American ambassador is to help American businesses expand around the globe, and that's strategic for the US because it creates jobs and prosperity at home, offers quality products at the market, and provides sustainable growth. Ambassador Costett said the American government is committed to supporting not only American businesses but also the people in Kosovo, the business community, as well as the government to build prosperity in the country.
In his speech, Ambassador Costet said, “at the moment, the growth behaves around 4%. That may sound impressive, but Kosovo produces only about a tenth of Europe's average per capita. This means that to achieve the growth trend in Europe, Kosovo's economy must grow 8% annually for the next 30 years. Kosovo needs a private sector expansion to realise this goal, while the government should be more serious in supporting the private sector. It is important that, despite the form of the future government, it must be committed to concrete actions to boost the flexibility and competitiveness of Kosovo's private sector. For businesses to survive, the government must reduce corruption and promote professional standards in government, business and education. ”
American Oda Executive Director Arian Zeka positively praised for Kosovo the increased presence of American interiors and companies in Kosovo, which the American Oda engages in ongoing.
“We are gathered to give gratitude to American Ode member companies, which have contributed to strengthening relations between the United States and Kosovo, as well as to their contribution to the country's economic growth, the transfer of technology, job creation, and, above all, to providing hope for the people of this country,” said Zeka.
The president of the Board of Governors of America, Ilir Ibrahimi, said Kosovo and the US have relations in different fields, but economic relations are the best and most powerful. Therefore, Ibrahim added that the American Oda mission for this year and other years remains strengthening relations between Kosovo and the US, and businesses are what make it possible.
US-Kosovo Partnership recognitions have been set aside for major importers of US-born products (Elkos, Fluid, Allmakes Global Services, Meridian Corporation and Delphi Ltd); biggest exporters of products and services from Kosovo to the US (Stonececle Vineyards & Winery, Devolli Corporation and Kosbi); for companies representing American Brits in Kosovo (U.S. Coca Cola HBC, Microsoft, Cisco, Contour Global, Gjirafa incn., Grant Thornton, Deloitte, Ingram Micro, Sutherland, Fingermarket, Finca, Prosper, KAN EN Kentucky Fried Chicken, Balkan Foods King, American Hospital, Brovina Hertz, Auto trade Avis, Ford Motors, K RCC ▪ TNT & Fedex, Teknoxgroup ãopillar, Financial Union HINA Western Union, Vllesa Co RIA, Capital RIA, Art House é Xerox, Komtel General Electrics and Melita & Partners Intuit; and altogether for student exchange organisations, as well as American educational values in Kosovo (Kosovo American Education Fund, R.I.T.
