Agim Sahini, chairman of the Alliance of Business in Kosovo, has said businesses in the country are badly damaged by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sahin stressed that in addition to the pandemic the country is going through and through a major political crisis.
“assessments from research done by the Kosovo Business Alliance during 2020 are that Kosovo passed through a major challenge this year of COVID-19, of economic and political crisis”, he said.
“Coronavirus' crisis is under way as citizens were injured by the political crisis after for one year three governments were changed, three prime ministers, and this for Kosovo democracy was new and will be remembered as something that should not be repeated again”, Sahin said.
“CO VID has destroyed the economy, allegedly Kosovo lost an internal circulation of over 1 billion and 500 thousand euros. Also, during the past year Kosovo lost more than 50 per cent of foreign investment and lost remissions”.
“Over the past year, the Special Court arrested the heads of state who caused great turbulence and caused bad image for Kosovo, and that is also the fear that in Kosovo any powerful corporation will come and invest”.
Sahin, among other things, also talked about managing pandemics as he stressed that Kosovo has suffered more from lack of laws than from pandemic.
Kosovo has suffered more from lack of laws than from the pandemic for overcoming the economic crisis. Kosovo is the smallest beneficiary of various international funds in the absence of laws. The Economic Recovery Law had to go to the Kosovo Assembly 10 times for approval because it was the first time that businesses and the private sector needed support from the state”.
The people's “elected decided to raise their hands for recovery. We still don't have any at least public response from MPs and the Assembly why the law that should be adopted in September was passed at the end of”.
“Businesses and citizens are the smallest beneficiaries in terms of various European Union countries and the Balkans from state funds or other international funds in the absence of law no one provides financial means unless they are covered by law”.
Among other things, Sahin said that if COVID-19 continues at this pace then the economy will need at least two years to revive.
