AAK MP Gazmend Abashi has said that the Kosovo government should take this situation seriously and help the citizens of Kosovo and the business community to overcome with smaller consequences of isolation, which started five weeks ago.
“Today we are in the fifth week of the pandemic, and we have ordered our families to close in their homes and courtyards, but we have given them no choice, no support. We've had businesspeople close their companies, without support so far. Private sector workers are out of income and closed and without the right to work, and Draconic measures are envisioned if someone violates government measures”, Abrashi said.
He has stressed that the AAK has envisioned two key measures -- one has to do with the distribution of 100 each citizen of Kosovo, and the other has to do with facilitating doing business for companies.
He has said the AAK proposes that the VAT be paid after the sale of goods, and not in advance as yet.
We have two measures ahead. One concerns all Kosovo citizens, for each citizen to be separated from 100 euros, indiscriminately. Then we have the moral right to lock these families in their homes. The Kosovo government, according to all odds, has no technical potential to implement its decisions on selective aid. Referring to the private sector, today it's important to remove T VSH in the inflow of goods, in the customs phase, but pay after the sale of goods. The biggest help for the business community would be this”, he said. Abrashi also pointed out that AAK has thought about providing tools. Vdex2> against our proposal, we've also considered the resources from which we've got tools. We can take part from state reserves, have access to large organizations that can help us. You all know that Kosovo has a high financial discipline, so organisations like the IMF would support us in this emergency phase. I invite the Kosovo Parliament MPs, to understand that it is an emergency situation, and that Kosovo citizens, especially the private sector, need support as never more than ever today”, Abrashi has said in the environments of the Kosovo Assembly.
