(5 years ago)Kosovo Hoteleria and Tourism Oda (OHTK) has criticised the government's decision last night on anti measures. - CO VID, while asking for the latter to review the decision made and extend the gastronomy schedule and allow parties. On the contrary O HTK has not ruled out the possibility that even [...]
OHTK Chairman Hysen Sogojeva said the government should review these measures and consider their demands, on the contrary, point to consider the possibility to protest.
He said that extending gastronomy until 1: 00 p.m., removing the curfew and allowing parties are their main demands.
We're asking for a schedule extension, it's very absurd by 23 p.m., why until 23, we've asked that the duration of the hours until 1: 00 p.m. there's no reason not to last. The police clock every time we've mentioned it is meaningless, to start partying, we've had an appointment with the deputy prime minister and agreed, we're taking responsibility, we're starting with 30-50, we're assuming responsibility, we're assuming responsibility that no clients or weddings will enter, which doesn't have two vaccines or is not negative... We will analyse the situation of what it is like in the region and comfort the situation and comfort these things we will come up with a decision and perhaps not rule out reactions with even more severe reactions, it could also protest”, he said.
Sogojevo said that the government has also requested extending the VAT deadline for five years, helping businesses through subsidy wages and rents.
While, Estrada department director Afrem Muciqi said last night's decision by the Government of Kosovo to refuse to party is unacceptable.
This decision last night is absolutely unacceptable to us, it is again used double standard. Let us be overlooked by the economic recovery so far, but now we've been overlooked with this last decision, when all other businesses were allowed while only the sector that we represent once again was unjustly made stop-by... We call on the MSH, IKPK and the Government of Kosovo to reconsider this decision once again and to reverse the decision for all citizens of Kosovo equally, for all businesses”, he said.
Last night, Kosovo government has made new anti measures public - CO VID, which does not yet allow for parties and has not extended the hour for gastronomy.
