Kosnet says Kosovo citizens are not taking pandemic very seriously

I fully understand why businesses want to remain open, because even if I was the owner of a restaurant I would like it to be open and be able to feed my family and provide jobs for my employees. I'm not criticizing this, but I would ask each to take personal responsibility to fight the pandemic”, Costett said in an interview for Radio Free Europe.

He has also spoken of examples when Kosovo citizens do not respect measures against pandemic.

I have to say I walk down the street, people aren't wearing masks or holding them right. People aren't washing their hands that much. I think it's important that people take these measures that don't cost a lot of money to protect themselves and members of their families. When I walk past the coffee shop, I see many young people, who are mostly males, from different families and groups, sitting around laughing at each other, half a meter apart and then returning to homes where they live with older relatives. There is no need for this to happen”, Costnet said in an interview for Radio Free Europe.

According to him, fighting pandemic is not only a matter of government until it commends doctors, the other health staff, the police, who, according to him, are doing excellent work, trying to keep the country safe.

The US ambassador said the US has largely helped Kosovo fight pandemic.

“We have offered equipment, tools, vents that are headed for Kosovo by President Trump. We've also offered tests, hygienic equipment, but we've also exchanged many ideas with the Ministry of Health and other officials, Costnett said.

The first cases of corruption in Kosovo were presented in March.

So far, the number of infected has reached 15,142, of which 12,674 have been healed, and 615 have died.
