After October 20th the determining decision is made on the price of electricity

Only stewards are left here, someone, 80, have been led home, because of the current that grew bell in the whole world and now...”.

Thus declares Behram Haziray, who is just one of the hundreds of Ferronikli workers who were left without jobs Friday as a result of the increase in electricity prices.

Not the rest of the citizens who don't work on one of the three economic giants in the country, Ferronikel, Trepca and Sharcem, will be in this situation.

Prices increased only for electricity companies to import from abroad. Other Kosovo residents will pay the same fees for five months.

“Even during this process, the energy costs imported have been taken into account, and on the basis of the results we have that even this year there is no need for increased tariffs by March 31st 2022”, says Ymer Feyzullahu, management of the ZRE board.

The management of the Energy Regulatory Office board that decided on Friday for failure to respond to electricity shows that this panic among citizens was created after some problems Norway faced with gas equipment, and so did Russia and the pressure this country is making to the EU, separately to Germany for gas pipelines, though because how closed country is not known whether Russia has developed or actually exists.

Feyzullahu says Kosovo imports only about 11 % of the energy from Hungary, while around 90 %s is domestic production, of which 190m euros have been collected, enough to keep the current price.

And for the country to maintain this comfort, according to the chairman of the Commission for Economics in the Assembly, the Government must issue accelerated operating licenses to projects waiting for energy production.

Disregard the bureaucratic procedures for the Shalla Park of Bajgora and several hydropower plants waiting to enter production...”, states Ferat Shala, chairman of the Parliamentary Commission for Economics.

The government was also called on by civil society, according to which the executive should approve the funding of consumers in need and announce a resurrection package that will focus on the energy sector. Only Minister of Commerce Roseta Hajdari has spoken so far on the subject, under which the ministry is at the stage of collecting complaints from consumers. /
