Over 1,200 people in Prizren risk being laid off, cause of pandemic

This city's economy depends largely on tourism and hotel development, where employees are over 1,000 people who risk losing their jobs.

Prizren Mayor Mytaher Haskuka in an interview for Online Economics has shown that pandemics, in addition to tourism, have influenced livestock, where more than 16 thousand lambs are left to their growers without selling.

Even those involved in the sale of fish have had difficulty.

“Prizren is a city that is highly dependent on tourism and hotels where in this sector according to our statistics, over 1,000 people are employed and this sector has had the biggest blow, but at the same time we don't even have visitors”.

The economic impact is particularly negative in the tourism sector in addition to this, the farmers have had problems selling hexes are around 16 thousand runs this year that have not been able to find a market because restaurants are closed and are lowering the meat consumption of Kigut”.

“... the same is also with the production of fish, especially in Vermica, but also in the Zhupa villages as well as trade and small businesses with an employee”.

Hasakuka has warned of taking some measures to help businesses, reports EO.

All of these are analyzing and having many meetings with business groups few are the things we can do most in terms of infrastructure and in terms of easing certain obligations that they have”.

At the municipal assembly meeting we're going to pass a decision where businesses won't pay municipal taxes, we're going to remove the tax on public space exploitation, and we're going to remove municipal rents for when they haven't worked”.
