OAK meets Prime Minister Kurti, asked for Economic Court

Kosovo's Oda of Afarism board Chairman Skender Krasniqi congratulated Prime Minister Kurti on the position and briefed on the problems and solutions OAK has identified.

Krasniqi stressed that among the main problems businesses are facing is the lack of harmonisation of laws, which are causing provisions of a law very often to conflict with other laws that are creating uncertainty.

The issue is particularly facing mining sector businesses, in which administrative guidelines are being given primatitis to laws”, he said.

Krasniqi also added that changing the Labour Law and regulating the issue of the lehonia rest so that its burden can be taken over by the state will affect the growing employment of women in the country.

Among other things, Krasniqi singled out that the Home Trade Law, the Law for Faligration, the Economic Court and the offer of doing business are some of the main shortages whose creation would facilitate the functioning of businesses and the country's economic development.

The board's deputy chairman, Education Selmonmusaj, and the board's secretary, Diamond Elshani, highlighted the power of the umbrella, which is dependent 100% on the business membership and is a pillar of business support from which the Government can benefit greatly.

Board member Hysni Zogaj stressed that independent agencies such as KPM, AVUK, the Forests Agency, and similar ones pass into the supervision of relevant ministries, as they are the country's main pillars of development.

Prime Minister Kurti thanked the OAK for the meeting, considering it very constructive and stressed that these information will serve the platform for economic development.

According to a communique, OAK and the prime minister agreed on the continuation of the meetings, and on this occasion the prime minister accepted the invitation for the next meeting to be organised by the Kosovo Afarism Oda in co-operation with the North West Macedonia Economic Ode and the Tirana Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The OAK on this occasion also donated some local products prepared by member businesses in OAK.

At this meeting the Oda of Kosovo's Afarism was represented by: Board Chairman Skender Krasniqi, board deputy chairman Arsim Selmonmusaj, board members Hamdi Malushaj, Hysni Zogaj and Diamond Elshani, co-ordinator Cender Ibrahim and official Mirjeta Shala.
