Musliu: Government is putting pressure on the private sector, with Kurt coming in, all investments blocked.

Musliu has said the Kurti Government is putting enormous pressure on the private sector, which, according to MP Musliu, appears to have shifted from the attention of public opinion.

She says she has accepted many complaints by serious private sector representatives who have complained that the Government is drastically misusing power in relation to our local companies.

According to Musliu, in no government as yet there has never been a block of capital investments that have been contracted earlier.

The Kosovo government is known to be the main investor for capital investments in Kosovo, but as Kurti's arrival, all investments that have been contracted earlier have been blocked and this impasse is causing the bankruptcy of our companies. With this impasse, most of these companies are exposed to fear of their financial instability and are starting to seek solutions outside Kosovo. So, a prime minister who during the campaign claimed that he would generate new jobs, with his coming to power blocked the first investments and not planning investments for 2022, for one year has seen to it that even the citizens who had jobs, are out of work”, Musliu wrote among other things.

Recently, our government has produced so many scandals and populism that the focus of public opinion was faced with debates that took place between the opposition and the quiet, orchestrated by power, who unequivocally defended any government action.

Under the shadow of populist orchestration, the government from the very beginning is putting great pressure on another sector, which seems to have shifted from the focus of society. It's about the private sector.

What's going on with this sector? How is this sector being treated by a government that puffs up with counterfeit statistics for economic development?
Of the many complaints I have received by serious private sector representatives, it is evident that this government is severely misusing power in relation to our local companies.

In the last 22 years in Kosovo, there have been several government shifts, but so far there has never been a block of capital investments that have been contracted earlier.

It is known that Kosovo's government is the main investor for capital investments in Kosovo, but as Kurti's arrival, all investments that have been contracted earlier have been blocked and this impasse is causing the bankruptcy of our companies. With this impasse, most of these companies are exposed to fear of their financial instability and are starting to seek solutions outside Kosovo. Thus, a prime minister who during the campaign claimed the people that he would generate new jobs, with his coming to power blocked the initiated investments and not planning investments for 2022, for one year has seen to it that even the citizens who had jobs have become unemployed.

1. Albin Kurti's government, with the reasoning of political labels, has made unilateral interruptions of contracts that were signed. The private business sector has cooperated and will co-operate in the future with our institutions and therefore dare not differ. This approach method is the method of a differential and oppressive power. As an example that the Vetevendosje government is acting in a selective and clientistic manner also shows the case of contracting to UBT University, where Minister Lieburn Aliu himself is a teacher in this institution, Minister Rineta Jashari's adviser is also an assistant to the UBT and Albania adviser Ahmeti is co-ordinator for UT planning. So UBT employees, sign agreements with the Ministry of Environment where they're employed. Moreover, even tender procedures have not been respected, they have simply been hired and signed contracts with people's money. The move is a conflict of interest and represents clear legal violations.

2. Albin Kurti's government has made budget cuts in budgetary codes in the budget law. This action is bankrupting contracted companies. Any bankruptcy causes job loss and negative impact on the budget of involved families.

3. Albin's government, instead of helping our companies, any active contract that has been through February 14th 2021, has sent it to the prosecutor without any legal basis. He didn't do the same with any international companies. By unilaterally cutting their contracts to local companies, the government has also cut off their payments to perform the jobs, since it has submitted them to judicial procedures on the basis of political labels. This has also affected Kosovo's budget to suffer losses of millions of euros.

4. No government decision on the major price change target for contracted jobs has been made that it is causing the bankruptcy of local companies.
These government actions, with contract cuts, budgetary cuts in contracted project codes, and the failure to plan capital investments for 2022, are causing economic collapses in local businesses, is causing the loss of budget revenues and what is more serious is causing increased uncertainty of workers who are forced to find solutions outside Kosovo.
These are serious problems that this government won't be able to hide under the cloak of populism and orchestrated political equipment.

Our society should rise and position itself. All areas such as politics, economics, science, culture, art and sports should have the courage to face any government that its role does not understand as a role in serving the general public.

Today, more than ever, we need a responsible society. We need a society that is proud, independent, and that requires responsibility from its representatives. We need a society that knows its rights and obligations.
A government that aims to remain in power by labelling past governments and at the same time completely undoing legislation in power and bankrupting its country's companies is a government that, in addition to having to be dismissed, has to respond to prosecution.
