Business community sees closure solutions. Government has budget, reluctant to share tools

Sahin is praising that the country's government is being delayed in making decisions that are good for citizens and businesses.

As all the measures in the summer were released, he told Online Economy that the Government did this for the diaspora.

On the other hand, Sahin says that in the event there is a total closure, it would be harmful to the country's economy by making the economy worse.

He is seeing the awareness of citizens for the implementation of the measures, but for this the Government will take care.

The country's “government, as we usually hurry or delay to make good decisions, for the citizen, for the business, for the economy and for Kosovo itself, and it's better confirmed where in the middle of summer, when we had a great diaspora arrival, all measures were released unconditionally and without analyzing that the infection with Ovid will grow, and we don't have the capacity to manage it, and that's only to get you in favor, nightclub clubs, weddings and diaspora who have been closing two years here and have made a fun and that's cost us today, and that's going to be the worst of the economy, and that's going to get the employees and that's got to raise all kinds of respect for the patients and all the patients who have been able to get a shot and then have been able to do it've been able to get some sort of respect for all kinds of respect.

And for the government's first statement that they have no means to compensate businesses in case of a total closure, Sahin says Kosovo doesn't stand so bad on the budget, as accession to Customs and ATK are on the rise.

“It's not that bad, but access to Customs and ATK are on the rise, at least 30%, and it shows that we have more tools, that shows that many infrastructure projects have been halted because of audits the Government is doing, but here the government is reluctant to support businesses and to distribute budget tools for its businesses and citizens. About 20 thousand closed last year were, about 38 thousand businesses that they requested, in various forms, whether in state institutions, to support”.

According to the head of GDP, governments have at least supported citizens' business during this time, comparing it to other countries.

He says that if there are no means, then access to debt is the only alternative.

I think the past government has been highly criticised for supporting businesses and this will not act like it, while we think that the governments of our country have at least supported business during the time of pandemic, and that's why we need to know, that if we don't have resources we have to go into debt”.

While the chairman of the Hotel and Tourism House, Hysen Sogojevo, says the government itself is declaring that there are no means to support businesses, and in this case he stresses that closure is unacceptable.

I saw the only way out of this situation.

The government in its statements has said that we have not seen this part, so total closure is unacceptable the only possibility we can get out of this crisis is vaccine. And then you may not be allowed in any institution to people who haven't taken the” vaccine.

Taking into account all that is being brought to Kosovo with this amount of tools that it means I don't see solutions and closure is unacceptable, and the only one is vaccine, we have cases in Europe that have released the measures because it has vaccinated them, and at the moment that the vaccine is released to the measure”, he told EO.

Since the number of people infected and hospitalised by Covid-19 has also increased in recent weeks, Health Minister Arben Vitita has suggested that no provision is expected after 13 September, where the actual set of measures ends.
