Armedments from 530 to 1250 euros: The prices of construction materials are making them a peak over citizens.

Not only oil, flour, and other food products. The lift has also marked construction materials - and therefore the square meter of residences in the city of Pristina. The war in Ukraine also markedly affected what is called a roof over the head. From the Kosovo Builders' Association show what is mostly affecting price hikes, while there are some citizens who are being forced to face sales or housing purchases in this period...

The basic building material, iron, since the conflict in Ukraine has begun is raised to the price of 870 euros, to 1350. So says Periscope chairman of the Association of Builders of Kosovo Faton Hoxha.

The majority of the building materials or basic materials are those for which international bell is defined. So far, we've never had this much lift. Iron for February 22nd, when the conflict in Ukraine began, was 870 euros, and now is 1300, 1350 euros of tone. That's 50 percent more, Hoxha said about Periscope.

He also stopped on material called armor. According to him, the price has risen by 250 percent.

About 530 euros has been the beginning of our pandemic, and now it's 1250 euros. That's 250 percent more. If the conflict continues, factories across Europe are dependent on basic materials, or raw materials, from Ukraine and Russia. Besides being high prices, there's also a lack of material. He added.

And if there are builders who have stopped the work because of the crisis, President Hoxha says that until now no object has been found left in half.

We didn't see the work stopped at any facility. This, however, adds to the price of residences, which so far has been expensive here in Pristina, he concludes.       

Owners of residential objects are facing financial hardship

Ilir Gashi, owner of the company's RealEstathee Bridge, has told Periscope that it is evident the decline in citizens' interest in buying residences in the capital. He shows that the moment something is offered, their comment is very expensive.

He has even shown how the owners of the artifacts, prior to the crisis, had established cheaper residences and are now facing financial hardship for completing construction.

Many of the builders are facing financial problems that residences are selling at lower prices, and the built-up price is on.”, Gashi stressed.

  Pristina resident who is raising the flat price for the first time after four years

)For four years I have my 85 square metre flat on the Dardania district in Pristina. From the beginning, I had exactly 135 thousand euros in price. With the price of building materials rising, I had to refuse to sell the apartment at this price because my plan was to sell the apartment and build a house. This is A.D.'s confession by Pristina's customs, Dedania.

                            It's gonna be, but it's too expensive.

Resident resident, with a legal peak on her head, but wants to become L.A., who now lives by rent in Pristina for over 10 years.

She says she has been interested in buying the flat on CU Street, but has been trafficked by prices.

I was interested in buying a two-room apartment in Pristina soon. I've been looking at C Street, but I'm surprised at the price of the 94 thousand euros I've been offered in that district. What I appreciate is that he doesn't retaliate, given the infrastructure there.

Kosovo is importing almost all construction materials, and any change in prices in the world affects even here.

In 2021, Kosovo, according to data from Customs, had imported construction materials worth over 460m euros. Construction materials are imported mainly from neighbors: Albania, Northern Macedonia and Serbia, but also from other countries.

Only construction materials, according to data from the Kosovo Statistics Agency, have been expensive for over 20 percent./Minian Calitary ' PERISKIPI/
