Hoti thinks the economic effects of tax on local market are zero

Avdullah Hoti from the LDK, speaking of the 100 % tax on products originating from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, has said it has been set as a reaction and not as part of a political strategy. “Taxa is not set as a result of a Kosovo political action strategy against Serbia. It is more [...]
“Taxa is not set as a result of a Kosovo political action strategy against Serbia. It is more reaction to specific political developments facing Kosovo on the part of Serbia”.
This would be okay even if it was a reaction, but it came to the moment when we received a big blow because of Kosovo's failure to membership in INTERPOL”.
Hoti in the Kosovo Klan Election Zone has said this tax is now being used for populist purposes.
The problem with this tax is that it is trying to be used for populist purposes by trying to argue on the basis of the economic benefits Kosovo has as a result of the tax setting”.
He has denied that Kosovo has benefited economically from the 100-man tax. He even said there was only one market shift.
I have research by certain institutes and NGOs showing that the economic effects of tax on the Kosovo market are zero. Local production and generation of new jobs as a result of the tax setting are zero”.
“Crest what has happened as a result of the tax settlement is the shift of trade from import of goods coming from Serbia and Bosnia to import of goods coming from Slovenia, Turkey and Israel dealt head-to-head”.
“on the local market, according to statistics, prices of these goods have increased because from Serbia we mainly imported food goods. It has grown to about 5 %s in the cost of living low-income households”.
Hoti from the LDK has insisted that the tax is scandalously imposed.
We've had statements from coalition party leaders where one says 10 %, next 20 % and then 100 %s pushing who's taking the leadership against this task”.
“has lacked an internal dialogue and greater co-ordination with international partners”.
However, he has said the tax has not hampered dialogue with Serbia.
