The Kosovo government since its first day of work as a priority certainly has the support of local producers, in this case farmers and milk processing. We estimate that there can be no rapid economic development as long as we do not empower local producers and the private sector in general.

In recent days we have seen some protests by farmers and milk producers, and we understand their concerns. We are aware of the difficulties facing this sector as a result of pandemic COVID-19, but on the other hand, Government and Minister Vesel Krasniqi are doing their best to help not only this sector, but all who need state assistance.

Meanwhile, Minister Krasniqi's decision on the temporary ban on palm oil is under the decisions the minister is taking for consumer protection.
