(5 years ago)Albin Kurti, on a television presentation at Kohavision in 2014, had unveiled details of the Vetevendosje Movement's governing programme, where he said that as soon as his party's arrival in government, the prices of basic food products such as bread, sugar, milk and oil would be significantly reduced, while luxury would be expensive. “VAT becomes zero [...]
“The VAT goes zero for basics. The bread with Vetevendosje Movement of 36 cents -- the average for the February month's prices for 2014 -- becomes 31 cents. Sugar from 72 cents to 62 cents. Milk of 91 cents is averaged at 78 cents. Oil from 1 euro and 23 cents is made at 1 euro 6 cents”, Kurti declared.
Kurti said that Vetevendosje aims at “luxury corresponding to the wish register will be expensive”.
Meanwhile, the opposite has happened with prices of elementary food products in Kosovo since the Kurti government. They are growing steadily, and the government's hand has been seen to intervene in them, although Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislim has announced two-scient economic growth.
Starting next week, a bread in Kosovo will cost 50 cents.
“It's not a question of will, we're tasked with” has said of Albanian Post, Elmaz Chocaj, owner of Kosovo's “Orex”.
All the products we need in the process to produce the bread have undergone growth, and when I'm saying growth, I'm not implying an increase of cents, but a huge increase”.
“I currently sell bread 0.40 cents, until my reserve is exhausted, then I'm obliged to raise the price for 10 cents more”, Chocaj told further about the Albanian Post.
And not only am I going to do this, but this growth is going to take place throughout Kosovo, we're all in crisis, we're all in trouble, nobody does why they want to, but trust me we're bound to”
“Mel has increased the price from 0.32 cents per kilogram, to 0.49 cents, the meter from 1.20 to 1.50, the oil by six months ago has been 1 euro and a little, now it's 1 euro and 60 cents, on average”, has explained further Chocaj.
And add this to the price of oil and wood. One meter of wood has cost 30 euros, now costs 40 euros”.
Among other reasons why bakers are obliged to increase the price of bread is an increase in workers ' wages.
“plus that workers' salaries last year have suffered growth for about 30%”.
“If a saleswoman is later paid 20 euros, she now pays over 300 euros. A bread cook does not come to work without 800 euros in salary”.
You don't get a good masquerade pie without a thousand euros salary”.
We now sell the bread 0.40 cents, until the reserves are spent, but I don't think we can postpone it more than 1 week <x0.
“We've already had cases when we've gradually increased it by 3-4 cents, because that's how prices are up, but now prices are up quickly and we don't have cover”, Chocaj says.
The increase in the price of bread to 0.550 cents, from this Monday, has begun to apply in the town of Pec, but according to bakers, this price will be the same for all ovens on the side of Kosovo.
