Kelmendi: When government asked for money from the diaspora, it showed its inability

Kelmendi in Eyes 7 in Klan Kosova stressed that these measures will be liquidating for a large portion of gastronomy.

“These measures would have been extremely harmful to the economy, while apparently it would also be liquidating for a large portion of gastronomy, better it is longer lasting and gradually softening the measures than being strictly”.

Any measure that lasts until the beginning of July is extremely harmful to the economy, we will have tremendous losses, in this case there will be losses even budgets that I may not even be able to pay for my own”.

Kelmendi stressed that freedom for only an hour and a half makes citizens' lives difficult.

“Changing the freedom movement regime by an hour and a half per day makes free communication difficult in areas outside the city of”

“Better be a longer quarantine and don't let alone those who need it and for seven days the number to reach zero and so the economic consequences will be much smaller”.

Kelmendi also talked about economic damage, where only his business will have losses of about 6m euros by July.

The gross domestic product is once about 150 million, an example of my monthly loss in this case is 1.5m euros a month, so if it lasts through July it turns out that the company will lose to 6 million”, Kelmendi said.

Kelmendi stressed that the aid of 170 euros from the government should be given as declared pandemic and that the demand of money from the diaspora was the government's inability.

Kelmendi also stressed that if the state of emergency were declared in time, the political situation in the country would be better.

Kosovo's “citizens do not need social assistance in this event in the pandemic had to have had the state of isolation declared, the Government was to immediately intervene at 170 euros in order to increase consumption and keep the economy alive”.

The “of course would have to be declared, if the state of emergency were declared we wouldn't have this extraordinary political situation in this case, the Government has lost a lot and other institutions have lost a lot of permission to declare the state of emergency by being afraid of political influence by President”.

The state at the moment it has asked for financing from the diaspora has its own financial inability to support major demands that arise”.

“The diaspora is affected on its own and the biggest damage it will bring to Kosovo's economy will be remittances as it will be lacking at least 500 million”.
