Luka said that up to this proposal for increased electricity tariffs has come, as according to him, the whole world is facing energy crisis and a moderator must be found.
He said that as a cause of this crisis, there is constant pressure on Kosovo's energy grid to have either price hikes or more subsisting.
Z-proposed “Forme RIS is one of the acceptable forms of not being a burden from some of the consumers for more. Acceptable because, most consumers who are not large consumers of electricity are not affected by tariffs or few, while those who are biggest consumers are damaged, this will alleviate the crisis for all citizens in the country”, Luka has expressed.
Luka spoke in “Info Magazine” in Klan Kosova also for the government's sharing of 75m euros for energy subsidisation, where he said he disagrees with this division, as according to him, this money could go to projects that could generate economic activity rather than constant energy consumption.
He also said that increased energy rates will affect over 50 percent of the population, not as it is said, only 25 or 30 percent.
“The percentage of use is not real, because there are many houses that are uninhabited, there are many houses that have been moved by villages in cities and do not represent the real state of the market”.
I think 400 to 600 KW is very little for someone who warms himself, so a large measure is affected and not as it says around 25-30 percent, but more than half of the population with these expensive tariffs” is expressed.
The former economy ministry's first one also said it does not stand by what it says the government wants to assist KEDS, as according to him, this company has mechanisms as far as and what it can spend to cope with a crisis, and in case of crisis like this present one, then according to him, the government intervenes.
It's not what the government is wanting to help KEDS, because by the time we are, KED has some contractual mechanisms up to where and what it can spend to cope with a crisis, but the crisis we are now when you don't know an end, then the company in question cannot afford any import of electricity that might affect. In this case the government steps in”, he has said.
