(5 years ago)The extension of food items has alarmed Kosovo citizens. Many complain that it is difficult for them to survive because of low wages. Eyes are headed by the government for help. “Qych sʹ is a problem with a 70-80-euro pension, and those employers, and us 100 euros 90euro, have raised 10 euros, one [...]
That's a problem with a 70-80-euro pension, and those employers, and that's 100 euros. 90euro is 10 euros. 20 euros a month, plus sugar”, says a pensioner.
Sales have dropped sharply.
“Retiring at 70-80 euros and asking three times what the price is, because he doesn't. Everyone likes to buy, but there's no money. They're all retired and social aid”, says one salesman.
Normal complaints, dry pockets all we have, no one has any reserves or salaries. Pensions of 100 euros, with 150 euros and 200 euros' salary, each item is expensive for us, anything you get close to and you see is worth”, says another salesman.
The blame for this situation, some citizens find it in the country's government.
“There have been other parties ahead of power these price hikes never follow. What's done now, do you need it for votes that have all returned us? They're saying he's a straight man, but we're not looking. We're looking at just expensive, every morning as we get up to something else you don't see, just expensive”, says a citizen.
Kosovo's Statistics Agency has verified price hikes for meat, milk and vegetables products. Meanwhile, the minimum wage in Kosovo is 135 euros for employees under 35 and 170 euros for those over 35.
